Whilst I hear that, I still say, stress test or try another battery just to be sure.
I have myself picked up a new battery only last year which seemed poor, when I stress tested it it failed.
If you do this it then does rule out the battery.
I have just been to my chummy and checked the voltage on the battery 6.4 then had the starter turn the engine over for three two second bursts. When it was cranking the voltage dropped at the battery to 5.9 volts at completion of this test it went back up to 6.4 Volts.
I must agree it is a bit of a mystery. What about trying another starter ? would someone in your club loan you one ?
