I'd measure the voltage at the solenoid S-terminal with the key in the start position (trying to start), and the voltage at the starter power lug with the key in the same position. Also check voltage across the battery with the key off.
At this point, the issue sounds like the solenoid isn't doing it's job, of engaging the flywheel w/ the Bendix and switching on the starter.
Heat soak is generally defined as slow crank when warm.
