G'day Kamstilla, I suggest that your starter pinion may be jammed in the flywheel. I would suggest that you pull out and re=attach your starter motor. i would suggest that you jumper the starter with a good 12V truck N120 or better battery and give it a try. So long as you do not have any of your lighthing, brake or instrument lighting systems on, it should not blow any bulbs, it will certainly rotate the engine at a good rate and it will start if most fuel/air requirements are ok. If it doesn't start then i suggest that you get professional advice on the problem. This may not necessarily be expensivwe as many mechanics operate "moon light " services at a much reduced rate. best Regards Peter Toet
