The solenoid could be shot, the starter gear turns but is not being pushed into the fly wheel, or the teeth on the flywheel are worn down and not catching. But I would guess that if the latter was the case you would of noticed starter issues previously.
Have you tested the batt voltage, and at the starter?

the battery is brand new and the voltage is perfect. from the sounds ive heard it may be the solenoid but wouldnt suprise me if the fly was going bad...i guess a reason to upgrade my clutch and fly sooner :/
