That connection to the solenoid where the strap goes into the starter must be clean, tight, and not heating up. If the solenoid post or strap are burn and won't clean and tighten, they need to be replaced.
The difference between the voltage at the battery terminal of the solenoid when not cranking and then when cranking is called voltage drop. It gives an indication of system and starter condition. Include the voltage at the battery terminals before you start and after you finish the test as well. It is best you check and provide the readings you get. It is not a case where you are looking for readings given in a spec sheet. Check and post your results, so they can be evaluated.
Read the manual about servicing the fuel filter. Bleeding the system is part of the filter change process. If you changed the filter, then cranked it over, you likely have made bleeding harder/more extensive.
