Well now sparky..:) did you miss DC 101 class in school ? I am back teaching again Mon to Thurs afternoons again. Anyway your problem..try putting a 12vdc bulb on the start wire at the solenoid end[ solenoid disconnected] an measure voltage before and after..12vdc each time ? if not start switch contact resistance... 4 or 3 wire solenoid ? some have a pull in coil[ the umph to engage] and a hold in coil to maintain the starter contact closed/starter turning. Yes fix the frayed cables anyway. Check that there a good ground circuit for the solenoid, some have a sealing/weather gasket and rely on the mounting screw to complete the circuit, and you can put 12vdc to solenoid with the plunger in the barrel of course and quickly touch its power post ,the plunger should move easy and fast...maybe you have mechanical friction on the plunger when assembled/starter installed. Thats my 2 cents worth..besides they are cheaply made units to start with..:) keep your electrons in the wire
