have you check the motor brush's are in good condition and making firm contact with the commutator,

as i have always been told a brush contact problem can cause the solenoid circuit to not function properly,

if the brush's are good then it could be the trow in or hold in windings of the solenoid have failed internally

Malcolm is correct, one of the solenoid windings is in series with the motor. Fit a new pair of brushes if possible or check that they are not stuck or greasy.
