Be very careful doing this and only touch the terminals on the solenoid for a moment. Do not hold the screwdriver on there and have the gear spin without any load.

You probably should take the starter to an electric shop that does starters, generators and alternators and have it tested and cleaned. They have the equipment to load test it. The bearings could be worn too. Hal
