Could possibly be, but then reading this makes me doubt/wonder about that:

Hmmm... Do this:
With the ignition off put a meter that reads about 20V DC across the battery, note the voltage.
Try starting it, note the battery voltage when the solenoid 'clicks', what's the reading? Are they the same?
Put the positive lead of the meter on the output side of the solenoid, and the negative lead on the negative terminal of the battery, try starting it, when the solenoid 'clicks' what's the voltage?
Try again with the meter positive lead on the, (cleaned), terminal of the starter motor - guess what now? Voltage check.
Try again with the meter connected to the terminal on the starter and the body of the starter motor - volt check time!
