My thoughts: Be sure that the batteries are well charged and available without other loads pulling on them. I would rather see 13 volts to 13.5 than the 12 to 12.5 you reported. Check all of your ground connections. Take the ground connections apart and clean them. Very often, you can read near good voltage without a load that will not show a badly corroded connection that will not pass much current under load. If there is a bad connection or several, the voltage will still read high because there is not much current load and they are inversely proportional. The other thing, could be a problem with the starter commutator and brushes being worn or shorting out with carbon dust and even a worn bushing allowing the armature to bind under load and not allowing the starter to get to speed necessary to engage. If you have taken the starter apart, also check the soldering. If it has gotten too hot in difficult starting you may have slung the solder out of the winding connections
