QUESTIONS on Fuels solinod tests

I have replaced the relay with the RS one.

I have put power to the white wire while grounding the black and the solinoid pulls in hard and fast everytime.

I have checked with a test light from ground to the down side of the fuseable link and I get power, I have cleaned the battery posts and all the connections on the plus side (blue wire connector)
I have cleaned the connections at the 3 wire plug for the relay and added dielectric grease to all contacts I have cleaned the contacts at the relay (when I have the key on and disconnect and reconnect the relay I can hear and feel it kicking in BUT the solinoid will still not pull in on it's own.

Last summer I had the starter contacts replaced.

1. could there be a dirty connection down at the starter end ?

2, do I need to pull the solinoid?

3. Where else can I should I be looking?

Thank god it is starting to warm up here
