Thanks. Yes that is fuel pump making noise. Usually clicks like that.Absolutely beautiful demonstration of exactly what's going on with your engine .
1. Is the one sound we hear in the background that of a high pitched electric fuel pump or other electrical device ? Maybe an exhaust fan ?
2. What is this device ?

3. I don't want to discuss my third guess until I hear back.
That is my guess. TStuck or bad inertial engagement mechanism. Motor sounds fine but the “Bendix” isn’t engaging .Sometimes alight rap on the starter motor will get it to go, but probably best to pull the starter and fix it.
Thank you. That is my guess. Much like an old car. Now, anyone have a video to pull the starter before I get into it?
CN I ask. How can I rotate the engine? Pipe wrench the pulley in the front?I've only listened to you audio about 100 times so far.
Can you VERY CAREFULLY rotate your engine (in the forward direction) by hand about one full revolution and then try to start it again ? Report back.
The reason I say very carefully is that there is always the danger of the engine starting up even when turning by hand. A very low possibility if the engine is cold, but it's still there. Don't use glow plugs if your have them. If there are unloaders on the engine, unload the engine before doing this.
You can grip the engine pulley with both hands and keep a continuous force on it. Air will leak past the piston rings and it will slowly turn. Wear heavy gloves.CN I ask. How can I rotate the engine? Pipe wrench the pulley in the front?
I didn't have an M25-XP, I had an M25. On mine, the starter did not have an inertial engagement mechanism, a.k.a., Bendix. The solenoid attached to the starter also actuated a lever that pushed the starter pinion out, and retracted it when the solenoid was no longer energized.Stuck or bad inertial engagement mechanism. Motor sounds fine but the “Bendix” isn’t engaging.
Don't bother, here they are;Maybe you can find you engine manual in the "downloads" section on this site.
I wish I could say that will polish right out but I don't think that's the case here.Think this the problem?
Yikes! There must be salt water leaking in there, no?Think this the problem? Thanks all for the insight! Well, this wknd shot. Next week we’ll be up and running.
The starter solenoid is not engaging the motor, the motor is spinning but pinion has not been pushed out to contact the flywheel, replace the solenoid if it has one, it could be a rusted pinion shaft. try to move the pinion on the shaft, it should be easy movement.Anyone recognize this sound from starter?

This will help:Finally got my starter and put it in however, my picture of wiring it is not clear. Does anyone have a photograph of how the battery and the other wires, orange, and red, connect to the starter?
