What does a flooded engine sound like?
I suppose it would just sound bogged down and unwilling to crank over?
Or do you ony hear the starter motor whirring?

I associate cranking with hearing the rotors actually turning. When you're flooded do the rotor actually turn?
I'm trying to identify why an 8 would only spin it's starter motor and nothing else... All I heard was the high pitched whine or what sounds like a starter motor...
Hold on, if the starter motor is turning the rotors necessarily have to turn too right?

Momentum Keeps Me Going
You don't understand the term 'flooded'. It means there is raw gas in the chamber, but it's not full of gas, otherwise it would not turn over (you can't compress a liquid). It's just damped out the potential combustion process, the plugs, and perhaps washed the oil from the seals, meaning compression may be down. The engine will turn over and the starter is what's turning the engine. It just doesn't start.

On a car with a working starter, the solenoid pushes the starter gear forward, thereby engaging with the flywheel's gear.

Question...my car is just making a zinging or whirring or whatever you want to call it noise...sounds to me like the starter zinging....I replaced it with an advance auto one and its still doing it. The old starter was going out and i flooded it. It was trying to crank, then it just started making the zinging noise. Assumed trying to start it over and over finally made it go out. But it is doing it still with the new advance auto starter...help...lol
