If the starter motor doesn't turn, then you have an electrical issue (fuse, connection, battery).

If the starter motor turns and you have an engagement issue, then the bendix needs to be replaced (this assumes basic alignment is correct so the gears can mesh with some freeplay).

Whenever I check my bendix, it always "cams out" correctly by hand so I have not replaced it. The system still misses (starts correctly about 75% of the time).
