The solenoid (small cylinder attached to the starter) is filthy inside, and having a difficult time operating as a result. You can remove and disassemble the starter, clean and reassemble and it will probably work fine for a time. Months, maybe years.

You can remove the starter and take it to a local electric motor repair shop. rebuilds are about $100, and you should end up with a starter that is the equivalent of a new starter.

buy a new one.

Buy a rebuilt one.

Those are your options.
