Johann,
Low voltage is unlikely to harm the starter solenoid, it will
either close the connector or not, and is not likely to chatter.
Corrosion is much more likely.
The starter normally runs exclusively off battery. The voltage regulator
controls the alternator and doesn't effect the battery voltage.

Hello Ira.
Thank you very much for the advice. Could there be a corrosion inside
the solenoid?
The original Ducati regulator/rectifier was tested with engine running
on the C connection, and there was no charging detected.
Because the charging was not keeping the battery fully charged, it
drained during my flight that day.
I wanted to fly one more circuit before calling it a day, and then
discovered that the battery was drained.
Replaced the regulator/rectifier, charged the battery and then
nothing, just a very slight turn of the prop, like the battery was dead.
Jumped it with my car, and no change. When we gave the solenoid a
direct hit from a fully charged battery, at the same time I turned the
switch starter, it turned normally.
After that, everything has been working, but I decided to replace the
solenoid if it could be in and out. Do not want to be stranded
somewhere with a bad solenoid.
I have checked all connections from the battery to the starter and
everything is clean.
Best regards,
Johann G.
