The solenoid on the side of the engine transfers the high amperage battery voltage to the starter. The solenoid on the starter kicks the starter gear forward to engage the flywheel and at the same time starts the starter motor turning. Your problem could be one or more of the following. It sounds to me like you either don"t have enough amperage in the battery or more likely the solenoid on the engine is not transferring the amperage to the starter. Push and hold the starter button. With the starter button pushed, check for voltage at both sides of the solenoid. If you have voltage to only one side the contact in the solenoid is bad. New solenoid needed. If you havew voltage to both sides I would point the finger at the solenoid on the starter. Lastly, there is a possibility that the starter gear is engaged in the flywheel. If so, loosen the starter mounting bolts. That would release the gear if it is stuck forward. Tighten the starter bolts and try to start the engine.
