good idea. After i get the starter back and if it turns out that the starter indeed was the culprit i will still be looking to replace the solenoid as a pm manuvre.

A battery can read 12V when not asked to produce any current. When a load is applied, the voltage will drop if the battery cannot keep up with the electrical demands.

Incidentally, a good battery should read about 14.7 volts.

Ummm.....when it is charging that is. A fully charged battery will be right about 12.8 volts unless my battery tester is incorrect. Didn't want everybody thinking their battery is losing it when they only get 12.8 on a multimeter. Bob

i think your battery tester is off. I uaually get well over 13 volts in a fully charged battewry and i always remember reading that it should be over 14 volts---I THEENK
