I have not bothered reading any further than this (only skimmed) but if you haven't solved your problem and this is the case then your wires to the excitation circuit are not big enough.But with 3m of 2x1.5 cable it wouldn't start.
But with 1.5m of same cable it did.
Although it may be that the solenoid is pulling more current than it should.
In the situation where it clicks but doesn't start does the wire get warm? If so then it's not heavy enough.
