If it isn't the solenoid, all it can be is the starter. If you want to double check, I answered this for someone last week (for about the hundredth time), here it is again:-
I always go for a 12v incandescent test lamp when testing starters as you are checking power to it, not just volts. Put lamp between starter positive and earth, press start button, if solenoid clicks but lamp doesn't light, you have a faulty solenoid. If lamp lights, you have a faulty starter. Check the lead at solenoid and motor are tight, also earth leads from battery to frame and engine, but it is usually brushes that are worn out or sticking, in starter.
