Years ago I had a Fiat Mirafiori that refused to start; I became adept at starter motor removal and replacement but couldn't work out what the problem was as the starter was fine when off thecar.

It turned out that the earth strap between the rocker cover and bulkhead had an air gap. Remade with aircraft-specification braided cable and - problem solved.
Quick way to check for that is a jump lead fromthe bellhousing as near to the starter as possible to the battery -ve terminal.
