    Flywheel teeth or starter gear? Is the motor turning at all?

    I figured that is what it was.

    It could be just a bad battery. It happens. It could also be an aftermarket radio draining the battery if it is not hooked up right.

    So if the battery is good....and it is somehow losing its charge.....there must be a drain on the battery somewhere.

    to figure out what is making the battery go dead you need to figure out what is drawing current.take the neg.side of the battery off.with a 12v test light hook it up betwen the bat.and the cable.if you have a draw it will light it up.now start pulling the fuses till the light goes out.then from there you have to trace the wires and find the problem.
