Default Starter working on a good day

This the how the starter works and sounds. I have replaced the Solenoid, Cables, Relay and Battery. Any ideas as to what is causing this.

Maybe the CCA of the battery? Make sure all the connections are good. Including a ground strap on the starter housing (if it has one). Friend of mine ran his negative cable from the battery to the frame tab...but it was painted. Fine with lights and such but when pulling amps it would act wonky.

Could also be dirty brushes in the starter.

Hope this helps.
