Steve is your Bendix stuck?  The torque of the starter should shoot the bendix up into the flywheel.  Try holding the bendix with your hand and turn the big nut on the top of the starter armature.  The bendix should move up easily to engage the flywheel.  Are your mounting brackets correct?    The bendix should engage the flywheel at least a quarter of an inch.  Hope this helps.
