If the starter is turning but not engaging the engine then it's most likely the one way bearing inside the case. Make sure the starter is indeed turning by pulling it off and then seeing if the starter spins. Then where the starter goes into the case, turn the gear with your fingers. If it turns both ways then the bearing is shot.

Wrong part that's the slipper clutch for the starter

The one way spray bearing is in the engine on the balencer

So bacilly you need to tear apart the whole engine to get to it
