    I've seen a couple different problems with the starter clutch causing it to spin freely.

    The bolt holding the starter clutch tightly to the beveled end of the crankshaft has loosened, or

    the starter clutch housing has cracked causing the rollers to not tighten onto the crankshaft end.
    Also, overrevving makes for a lot of centrifugal force that forces spacers, springs, etc. out of the starter clutch through it's outer shell. A good TIG welder can repair that.
