Welcome,

Please throw us a few more clues....like, why are you changing starters, Batt. condition, gage readings, any tests done, etc. ?

The more info, the easier (not!) it is to diagnose over a wire.

my flywheel went and when i replaced that my started was all chewed up so i replaced that too and since then ive been replacing starters left and right i cant think of any thing else it could be......

My guess would be they (or you) put on the wrong starter ring gear. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Assuming it's the teeth that are being chewed.

i dont think it has to do with the starter becouse before i changed the flywheel it was fine

That's what I mean....the FLYWHEEL has the RING-GEAR on it's outside edge.

If it has the "wrong number of teeth", it "WILL" eat up the teeth on the starter. (that "itty-bitty" gear in the nose of the starter)
