The starter bearing nearest the gear makes an awful squeal when starting.
Try spraying a shot of garage door lube on it and see if it goes away.
If it does, then you know what is making the noise.
The lube will be short lived, so don't think you solved the problem.
I have not ever figgered out what to use as a perm fix.
I even turned up a new bushing made out of oillite and it didn't last long till the squeal came back.
----prolly because the shaft is worn some.
I have tried a lot of lubes of various types, no joy.
-----Even tried cat pi$$ Ha,LOL!
