also try hitting it with a hammer, this sometimes on binds something. it sounds like the gear is getting jammed on the pressure plate and binding so the motor is winding out. it could also mean your starter is screwed but try that and i have heard soemthing about a screwdriver to but i dont know...

Sounds like the starter solenoid is going out. I'd just change the starter.

It's possible that all the spark plugs have been removed. If their missing then the cylinder isn't sealed, and there's no compression the engine will just roll easy, and with no spark nothing can burn.

But,...Chances are your starter needs to be replaced.
