I had a Powermaster starter do the same thing and eat up the gear on my flywheel. The issue seemed to be that the starter gear was only engaging less than half of the flywheel gear and over time started to damage the teeth.
I resolved the issue by replacing the ring gear on the flywheel and switching to a RobbMC starter. The RobbMC starter extends the gear further towards the flywheel for better gear engagement.
Haven’t had a problem since with this setup.
