Hold on there Jerry!

Sounds like you have a failed bendix on your starter, not the solenoid.

If the solenoid fails, the starter won't turn at all.  If just the bendix
fails, then the starter will turn over but it will not engage the ring gear on
the flywheel.

I think you need a new starter this time.

Have fun,
