I would look at your battery connections at both ends. Make sure the positive connection is clean and tight at the battery and the starter. Make sure the negative is clean and tight at the battery and the block where it connects. It sounds like you are getting a low charge condition from the alternator due to poor connections. Start there, and come on back and let us know what you found. Also, and I’m not saying this to call you out, just to inform you, there is no ground wire on the starter. The starter grounds through it’s connection to the engine block itself.
Here’s a couple videos to give you a visual aid:

And a general no crank no start diagnosis, which you should honestly probably watch first:

Good luck bud, and welcome to the forums.
