[Peugeot-L] '86 505 N9TE turbo gas, intermittent starts

Hello!

The wagons caught one of those chronic Peugeot bugs: starts no problem 1 out of 5 times. The four other times:

I hear a hum (fuel pump?)
A loud click from towards the right front (solenoid?) then nothing (no cranking)

If I pump the gas a few times the next time around it might start about 1/5 of the time (coincidence?)

Battery tested good (ye old AutoZone), no weird throbbing dash lights. I cleaned the three relays near the fuse box. The wire from the +ve battery terminal to the starter(?) doesn't look corroded at either end.

How do I measure that >12V is reaching the starter?

I would like to clean the
earths; I have found a bunch of connections behind the LH and RH headlight frame -- but where is the engine ground?

What diagnostic steps can I do?

Thanks in advance for the information.
