the sprag clutch ( overrun gear ) is gone and needs to be replaced
a new part can be bought but normally the complete starter is changed
in some cases squirting diesel oil on the sprag clutch can cure the problem
but it normally reoccurs again

Why won't my 93 century start. It will not take a jump. no clicking just a woo woo noise and dead?
The woo woo noise you describe sounds like the starter is trying to spin. The bushings inside the starter are probably worn, causing the starter to drag. When the starter drags, it cannot spin fast enough to start the engine and the worse it drags, the less it is able to spin.

Why doesnt starter engage on 1996 Saturn?
What do you mean when you say it doesn't engage? Is the starter spinning but just doesn't catch to spin the engine? IF that's the case it could be as simple as a loose starter or as bad as a damaged flex plate/flywheel. But it would most likely be the starter.
How do you fix a four wheeler that won't start with a fully charged battery?
There is many different things that can be wrong. If you have lights but the starter won't spin, then you could have a bad break light switch,a bad starter switch, bad starter solenoid, or even a bad starter. If the starter does spin but the motor won't start it could be a bad spark plug, bad coil, fuel blockage, carburetor that needs to be cleaned out, or bad stator.
