Does the starter incorporate the solenoid as well ? If it is separate then the solenoid could be RS.
It might be worth checking the voltage at the starter motor and solenoid (rather than at the battery). If there is a problem with power and/or earth leads and/or connections the voltage might seem OK at the battery but be too low at the starter.
Another possiblity is a problem with the teeth (or meshing/throw) on the flywheel.
If you have any doubts about the battery at all iIt is worth trying with a known good one (even if it doesn't actually fit properly).
