Starter spins freely, what to check

I recently replaced the starter on my 74 Sonett that got the worst of hurricane Sandy. The old one was badly corroded and not operational at all. I got a rebuilt one off ebay. It is a bosch like the original, but it became apparent when installing it that it is about 1/4 inch longer than the original starter.
Anyways with starter reconnected, I turn the key for a moment and the starter starts turning over the engine. Good news. So I set about bolting down the motor mounts and reattaching the air filter. Now when I try to start it, it turns over freely without turning over the engine.
It is obvious that on my first attempt the engine was turning over also. Now its just the starter.
Anyone have any ideas of what I should check first?
Thanks.
