First check the battery, then check the starter solenoid by taking a peice of wire and touching the 12v pos. battery cable to the top of the starter where it goes in. It says in the manual to take it to a dealer because you have to take the starter apart to get to the solenoid... But i think it is the solenoid.... i had the same problem with my 1998 sportster XL 1200s. I took mine to a dealer.

1976 XLH Harley Sportster - How do you remove the starter It spins fine when we push the button but it doesn't turn the motor over?

There's probably no problem with the starter. The solenoid sounds like the problem. It is the little round thing with the wires hooked to it forward of the starter on your model. Don't forget to disconnect the battery before removing it and remember which posts the wires are on.
