'90 80q no start

[alan page]

Hello,

I've got a weird problem with my '90 80q. It's been sitting for about a
month, and now when I try to start it, I only get an electric motor
sound; I'm assuming it's the starter. I jumped the car to make sure the
battery had enough juice to turn the engine over sufficiently. It almost
sounds like the starter is not connected to the engine-no engine noise
at all. Does the starter turn the crankshaft? How does it connect to the
engine? Anything simple I should check on?

Thanks,
