Sportsman 500 starting prob

Hey guys, I was riding my 2001 sportsman 500 the other day and all of a sudden it made a clicking noise and then stopped. When I tried to start it back up, all it does is make a mechanical clicking noise coming from the crank case. So I opened the case and tried replacing the starter bendex thinking that my old one wasn’t engaging and that wasn’t it, the new Bendex still won’t engage the flywheel. Any help?
