Engine starts when cold, won't crank when warm

The screwdriver across the big terminals bypasses the solenoid contacts as well as the switch. And leaves arc marks on the screwdriver, but it proves
or disproves the starter.

Are you getting 12V on the small wire when you turn the switch to start? If not, put 12V on the small wire but not the large terminal and see if the
solenoid clicks. If 12V on the small wire gets no results, take your ohmmeter - battery disconnected - and measure from the small terminal to the
case of the starter. Should read fairly low resistance - couple or three ohms. If it's high, the solenoid coil is open.
