Yes, its pre-engaged (I think) with the solenoid on the main body of the
starter. First the current should flick the gear to engage the flywheel ring
gear
and then it should spin up. I am not sure if you can buy a separate
solenoid. Seems to me that the solenoid must be working if the gear is
engaging and
that since this has to happen first it could be a bad motor. Maybe just bad
connections?
