Changing the bendix drive on the starter as recommended by Facebook will check back if I have further questions. (It wouldn't let me entirely delete this post sorry.)

Just FYI. It could be a flywheel issue (missing gears), or starter placement -- could require shimming the Bendix gear in toward flywheel. I went through this with a 305 in a Chris Craft. (Although not quite the same -- gear would periodically spin on mine without engaging the flywheel.)
Motors should run. People -- not so much.
