i would HIGHLY recommend replacing the original starter cable with something like Jaycar 4gauge wire (or a commercially made cable)
then ALSO CHANGE the alternator charge wire (that originally went to the starter motor terminal) to maybe 8 gauge, and route it directly to the battery.
i agree with others, clean the battery terminals, make sure they have good connection.
oh, and have a VERY close look at the starter motor...
once i used a KE70 starer motor with heat shield, but thru vibration and fatigue, the strap, holding the starter motors heat shield tight, broke, resulting in the heat shield rotating and touching the fat exposed wire from solenoid to starter motor... when i turned key to start, large puff of smoke and the copper wire melted clean thru.. and the shield lost some metal too... and became fused to other parts 
so yeah, cheakc that first.. check that the starter cable is not earthing anywhere at the points near where it bolts onto the starter motor.., then check batt terminals...
Cya, Stewart
