It shows rebuilt everything but nothing about the battery condition?
I'd have it tested for amp draw to see if it's any good. New cables if the old ones are corroded.
You can have the starter tested at an auto electric shop, if no progress after addressing input power.
It's been sitting again almost 2 years, so was it properly stored? Sprayed the cylinders, etc?
Not noted if automatic, but maybe that's not freewheeling. If manual, clutch stuck, dragging, etc.
You can check all the wires to see if they get hot after cranking too. Indicates high resistance:corrosion or wrong size.
