If it's making noise, it ain't completely dead. Has the starter worked loose
so that it isn't engaging? How are the teeth on the flywheel? Another
possibility is crud built up on the centrifugal engagement shaft, keeping the
cogs from making full contact. Any, or all of the above can cause the
thumping.
