Sounds like the spring on your starter pedal is either gone or weak, but for one reason or another, it isn't pulling the starter gear away from your flywheel. Once the engine starts, the flywheel's just spinning your starter until it's fried!
Get the spring & starter pedal repaired first, then buy another starter....preferably in that order.
