Why does my engine turn over but battery is good?

However, it is also possible that one of the accessory belt-driven devices is bad, and that is slowing the engine during the start cycle. You would need to loosen the belt (s) to test that theory. – load test battery, you could have a marginally bad cell.

Basically, starter barely turns engine over. In fact it acts just like an almost dead battery would in winter. But engine and glow plugs are good, so it starts after hardly a single revolution.
