I would say either the teeth on the flywheel or starter are bad or the solenoid is delayed on engaging the starter to the flywheel (which could lead to damage). Remove the starter and check it out. Have the parts store bench test it to make sure the solenoid is working properly and not sticking.

Let me know what you find.
