Check your battery. Make sure it has a full charge and do a load test.
That sounds like the starter is binding or the bendix is sticking.
My advice if the battery is ok, take the starter off and have it tested.
Good Luck,

Could you spin the engine at least one complete revolution ?
Did you try by-passing the starter relay *key start* with a booster cable running directly from the + post of the battery to the starter cable attached to the starter relay ?
