[Tigers] Solenoid problem?

I believe I have a solenoid problem but thought it worth checking with the
collective wisdom here:

Symptoms:  Tiger turns over immediately most times, but regularly when
turning to the start position *nothing* happens (no clicks, no noise,
nothing).  This tends to persist for a few tries it then it will all start
working again.  Happens occasionally on cold start, might happen more
frequently when engine is hot but pattern not entirely clear.

What has been checked so far:
- Battery has 12.6V, clean terminal connections & ground, and battery
volatage is making it to the solenoid
- Cleaned terminals & connections on starter
- Solenoid terminals & connections cleaned
- Solenoid voltage drop between battery & starter posts is in 0.12V-0.15V
range (was north of 0.3V before cleaning terminals)

My conclusion is that the solenoid is flaky, but if I am missing anything
please shout.

Cheers in advance
