Will it bump start?
If so, then yes it's either the starter motor or solenoid.

From what you have described it definitely sounds like a starter motor issue.

Could be the solenoid but could just be a bad earth
'Checked wiring' can mean many things.....
2 minutes with a meter would soon tell you.
Could also be a sticky /worn brush in the starter motor
bad internal motor grounding or dirty commutator

I have managed to take of the starter motor and take apart
found the inside a mess with broken bushes ect
will look for a new motor
