May be a starter motor or drive problem starting. Best check into it before it fails completely.

Can you elaborate on the 'errrrrr' sound? Do you believe the starter is spinning/free-wheeling and gears spinning? Or is this the sound of a motor drawing current trying to turn but can't?

I ask because if the starter is spinning, but the engine is not, I would guess that the sprag clutch is a bit worn.

Here is an example of what a completely failed sprag clutch sounds like:



If that is the problem, this is likely the part you need: ($49 before shipping)

Here is a good video on what it takes to remove and replace a sprag bearing:


The only thing I noticed was failure to put motor oil on the new sprags before assembly.

Check the tightness of all the cables from battery to starter motor. A loose terminal will sometimes give those symptoms.

Sounds like dry bushes/bearings in the starter motor.

It's either the starter motor or the oneway sprag. My money's on the sprag.

ugh! The same ugly sound when it shuts off.....that's a clue.

The noise is gone after it starts correct? Starter is not staying engaged?  Other than that god awful sound it runs normally & properly?

that noise 5 times befor it failed.
