If there is a shortage of current to the start (ie just using jumper cables) there will be a click but no crank (with the starter still bolted on the engine), but I can't tell if the click is the solenoid moving all the way or just part way, I'm more familiar with starters that make a louder clunk when engaging. But the fact that it did once turn over slowly leaves me thinking you've got a shortage of current to the starter rather than a solenoid problem
