On a  side note, the starter worked last time I
tried (a few months ago) but now  just spins without engaging.


That possibly could be just a bit of dirt or "flash rust" from moisture in  
the air that has bound up the starter Bendix (assuming original type starter  
here). It's worth pulling the starter and cleaning the drive as necessary, but  
don't lubricate it once clean (except maybe sparingly with a dry graphite 
type  of lubricant)! Any oily lubricant will only attract dirt and make it stick  
again....
