Can't see an issue with the gears----the very first thing I'd check is for wood scraps binding in the arbor unit (which rises with the blade). The next thing is check for looseness or proper alignment of the screws holding the shaft in position for the wheel to adjust height.

If the piston isn't turning over when you pull the starter cord then the pawl(s) from starter assembly aren't engaging on the shaft. There might be a single pawl, or multiple ones. They could be broken, especially if it's only one, or they could be gunked up with dirt and not extending out when you pull the rope. Take the starter assembly off and have a look. It should come off as one unit, held on with 3 or 4 bolts. When you've got it off turn it over and look at the insides as you pull the rope. You should see the pawls extend out as you pull the rope. If you don't, maybe they are just dirty - you can blow it all out with compressed air. Or maybe they are broken, which should be pretty obvious. If everything in the starter assembly looks OK then the other possibility is the thing the pawls engage into could be stripped or worn. That could be a definite possibility of it's a plastic part.
Most problems of this nature are easy to find. Parts are available on-line, too, from several places, or the dealer.
After the starter is fixed, if it won't start and run you probably have a fuel or carb issue. If the gas in it is old dump it out and put in fresh mix, and check to make sure the spark plug isn't fouled with fuel. If it still won't start, it's time to tear the carb apart and replace the filter, needle, and diaphrams, or buy a new carb., or buy a new trimmer.
