If I understand you correctly - the starter is turning but not engaging the flywheel (turning motor over)?

bad bendix (starter drive)

if the spring in the starter bendix is weak or broken it will not engage the flywheel; but the starter will turn normally. bad thing is ,you have to pull the starter..good luck
