2001 sportman 500 ho starter problem?
This may sound confusing but I've seen them replaced at my dealer a few times. There is a gear thingy that engages the flywheel it is pretty easy to replace but the part is about 100 bucks I think. If you take it out hold both ends and turn it , it should move freely. Sorry I can't be more detailed but if the starter is turning this is your problem. Maybe someone can else can better expain this.

My starter would stick and just spin until I beat it with somthing, after it sat for a few days without being started. I took the pull-starter housing off and looked to see what I could see and found lots of rust and little bitty sping bits. I took the bendix (gear) out and spend lots of WD40 cleaning it out (if I were doing it again I would drop it in an ulrta sonic cleaner). I also put a bit of grease in it untill it was engaging like it should. I have a good machanical mind, but for the most part, I had no idea what I was doing :-) You will also want to pick up a new gasket for the pull-starter cover.
