The starter is a DC motor and therefore has brushes.

Things to check:

1) connect meter to battery, see if volts drop (below 11V) when you push the button.

2) connect meter to solenoid output (cable to starter) and earth. test as above.

3) connct meter to starter input (cable from solenoid) and earth. test as above.

If you have power right up to the starter, most likely problem is a sticky brush in the starter itself. Depending on your abilty and confidence, either take the starter to someone capable or pull the end cover and clean/lubricate/free up the brushes.

Good luck,

Pete.
