How thoroughly did you strip and clean the starter?

Also check the wiring, it could be that it's not getting enough current to the trigger wire. test this by using a bit of wire from the trigger connection to the positive
on the battery with the ignition on, if it starts easily like that then it's a wiring issue.

I presume it's in a vitara? If so just get one listed for an sj or vitara etc. they aren't hard to find.
