I have an idea on this, however, is the starter "free spinning" without engaging the flywheel (not turning the engine) or does the engine spin?

if I understand this correctly, you should not have a direct path from the top "B" terminal to the "S" terminal, ever.
The small terminal on the side of the starter solenoid should be a 12 volt ignition (start pos.) switched power.
