Ground?

1973 Beetle. Started having starter troubles before I put car away for winter. If I turn the key it may take several seconds for the starter to engage. I've replaced the ground cable and cleaned all battery connections. Have good voltage at the starter. I can short the starter at the terminals and it will turn over readily. Funny part is if I hold the key to start after awhile it will finally turn over. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Still willing to give my project car away. The one with the 3.8 buick motor.

Seen this.. it was a dirty (oxidized/rusted) solenoid plunger. In 2 cases that I've run across at least.
