help w/ starter / starting, I know, we've been over this vefore Options

[BravoHotel]

Here is what I have / know:

- '72 w/ '75 2.0 motor w/ Webers

- couple months ago, intermittent problem not starting...turn key, no click, nothing
-- wait a few min, start right up.

- got starter rebuilt, worked like a champ for about a week. Then started doing same thing except, I got "click"

- took starter back to dude who rebuilt, had him check it out...says its fine.
-- says I need at least 10v to fully activate solenoid

- battery is at 12.4v, terminals 12.4v

- main cable to starter getting 12.4v (unloaded)

- when starter switch activated, terminal lead to solenoid only getting ~8.3v...WTF?

- thought maybe the ign switch bad, ordered and replaced. no change...aaarrrghhh!

- obviously there is some voltage drop between switch and solenoid? What am i missing?


Very frustrating...I need HELP!...I am tired of rolling down my driveway to start.

Also if you find that its still not quite right, try running a ground from the starter to the battery ground.. big ol fat cable, Fixed my starting problem real quick.. I have some pics somewhere if you need help.
