SURE a solenoid can go bad, however, before that Id suspect a weak battery or a bad loose burned or carboned connection or even a faulty or jamming starter or starter drive. Remove, clean and wire brush and re attach each and every battery and cable and ground and starter and starter solenoid terminal, insure the battery is well charged, and try her again. A parts house can perform a load test on the battery for no charge.
Also have the meter direct on the battery and try to start her and see what BATTERY VOLTAGE DOES??? if it drops that low Id say the solenoid is okay and perhaps its a bad battery or a bad or sticking/jamming starter. HOWEVER if youre dropping several volts ACROSS the Solenoid, sure it could be bad. A good set of solenoid contacts shouldn't drop many volts under load, the voltage should drop ACROSS the starter motor.
See what the starter does if you use jumper cables and direct jump 12 volts to it????????? If it works good then but NOT with the solenoid in the circuit (starter itself is okay), it could be the solenoid or a bad loose or burned or carboned cable or connection or ground.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
