Check with a test light to starter lead when trying to crank,if has12 volts then not the solenoid. is battery good? If so then probable starter bad,dragging.Either brush kit or replace starter,plus starter bendix(gear shaft) inside recoil could be worn and binding. Just start at the battery connections, then the solenoid connections,starter,then bendix. You will find the problem. OPT
