Battery?
Are you sure that your battery is fully charged? Could be as simple as using a fully charged battery. But, maybe, your brrrrr is different than my brrrrr!
I suggest that you don't do anything major first - take a second look at all wire connections, etc, before beginning to remove parts. Best to you.

Yes, the battery is fully charged showing 12.5 on charger and Skyview. Did check all the wiring connections - visually and tugging, and, they all appeared solid.

Not allowing the starter to engage?

Chuck,
You could disconnect the motor lead and engage the start key. See if you hear the starter solenoid close and see if it sounds like the chatter you are hearing. Also do a load check on your battery. A bad battery can show good no-load voltage, but drop drastically when under load. Harbor Freight sells a cheap battery load tester.

I did have a problem with the spar pins; but, I got that resolved and the big red light on the panel is out. Only took me a full day to turn the light out.
The Brrrrr sound is real loud. To me, sitting in the cockpit, it sounds like something is battering the firewall really rapidly - fifty times faster than you could do with a hammer. I have the skin above the avionics off, so maybe the noise is being amplified. It does sound, to me, like a rivet gun. Only, Rosie the Riveter is not out there.

I had exactly the same problem
It was the battery. Mine showed 12volts as well. It needs more to turn over the engine. I charged mine over night and the next day the engine burst into life. I think the battery was showing 13 or so volts.
Cheers

starter
you could try a set of jumper leads to another battery or pull one plug out of each cylinder and see if the starter turns it over properly then
