Help Evo not starting!!

Hello this is my first post so bear with me, I turned the car off like normal, then about 2 hours later i needed to go buy something, i get on the car and try to turn it on but it there is like a really weird sound then after like 1-2 seconds the noise stops and you hear the starter spinning, i checked the flywheel and it looks like new, changed the starter still does the same thing. It still doesn't turn on
Help please!! I would really appreciate it.

Pull the starter and bar the engine over until you've viewed all the teeth on the flywheel looking for missing teeth.

I once visited a factory (I guess that is the correct term) where they remanufactured alternators and starters. I was there looking for a vacuum cruise control for a collector car. The place turned out to be a big quonset with dirt floors, dim lights and no heat, the workers were wearing coats. Also, no joy on the cruise control.

I don't know if every remanufacturer is like this, I've only visited one. But, I was not impressed.
