Starter spins won't crank.

The starter on my 05 will turn the motor over then spin. I've pulled casing on the starter clutch and it spins one way freely but not the other. I've charged the battery on a trickle charger for days and it shows a good charge. I have checked the 30 amp fuse on the solenoid and even changed the solenoid out for a new one. I changed the solenoid because there was a somewhat loud clicking when I hit the start button. and even tired a starter from a working motor with no luck. What could it possibly be. Next stop is to trailer it to a local shop.

Did you check the Starter gear, idle gear, Starter clutch? You said that the motor spins and then slips? Spins the engine? or it just spins the starter without any resistance?

It just spins

Check your earth leads, sounds like you’re not getting the voltage needed.
If you’ve tried a known working starter and changed the solinoid, it could point to a lead, also, there’s a fuse, under the drivers sadle, that blows, worth checking.
