Anthony,
Just because the battery will make the starter spin does not mean it has
sufficent voltage to spin it fast enough for the solinoid to "engage"
the starter drive to the fly wheel. Have your battery tested to make
sure it is properly charged. If it is then you may need to replace your
starter drive.
