Is it possible that your issue is caused by the jet washing incident you allude to or the fact that it's an Enfield?

I dont know. I have never measured voltages on a starter solenoid before. In this case the solenoid was activating, but not passing current to the starter motor, maybe normally the starter motor absorbs it ?
Coincidentally, I had to buy a new mobile phone last week (samsung). Its' instructions say not to start the engine with the car charger connected to the phone and car.
The new solenoid is hermetically sealed, unlike its predecessor.
