Sounds like the starter solenoid is shot or the ground is broken/corroded. Best to remove it from the machine and bench test it quick IMO. This isn't for everyone BUT anytime I've had to replace a starter solenoid I always go to the auto parts store and get a fender mount style for a Ford (call it a 1980 F150). They're cheap, easy to find, compact, durable and easy to retrofit into basically anything. Getting a warranty that's easy to have honored close to home is anyways a bonus too!
