The teeth engage the gear one way and there just isn't enough there to properly do that. When the flint is installed it provides enough resistance to stop the wheel and cause the slip.

If it does and the wheel doesnt spin, it means the flint wheel might be on backwards. Happens alot when people take them apart to clean them.
