OK, Original symptoms were that it would not turn over and made a chattering sound that felt like it was the solenoid.
Battery charged tests good but the voltage drop I mention later seems excessive so I am going to replace the battery.
New Solenoid. No change.
Return spring on the starter seemed weak. The design should make the spring unnecessary but ...
New starter. No change.
Starter does completely engage and completely disengage when key is turned and released now.
Force needed to manually turn the engine seems appropriate but it won't turn with the starter
Could the relay that the key actuates be bad so it chatters causing the solenoid to chatter causing the starter to not get continuous power? I can't feel if it is chattering but the voltage from the relay drops to about 6VDC and is unsteady when I turn the key to start putting the electrical system under load.
Even a 50AMP starter/charger won't get it to turn over.
