Battery charged up properly, ALL the electrical connections clean and tight, including the ground cable ends?

Try jumping the starter. Use a set of automotive jumper cables and a known charged battery. If the starter cranks the flywheel normally, you have current leakage in the starter wiring, or even a bad starter solenoid.
