Early 5 main mgb engine in a 58 mga.  Received in kit form; been working on=
 this thing for 18 months.

I think the conclusion is pretty obvious; just looking for confirmation.

The starter would turn the engine over, then just spin.  Wait until it stop=
s, try again.  Usually after a few tries the engine would start.

Now it just spins.  Was that a sign that the starter was going?  Is it now =
gone?  And doesn't activate the gear so the engine doesn't turn over?
