Sounds like a tired starter. However it could also be a failing starter switch, a weak battery or possibly a faulty terminal crimp on one of the new cables (it CAN happen…)
Also if the grounded battery cable is not clamped under a bolt that’s directly into the transmission or clutch housing (ie it’s bolted to the battery box sheetmetal) relocate it.
You might try this: With the ignition switch off, crank the engine for 5 – 10 seconds. Then quickly feel the starter switch and each cable terminal. If any are hot to the touch you’ve found the problem.
If all the above check out, time to pull the starter for a peek inside. Most likely the brushes are worn, commutator is dirty, bearings are dry, etc. A trip to your local starter/alternator shop is then in order.
