My starter just started turning very slowly. So I did some tests.
Battery ( optima red top)is 12.45v at rest, and 10.85v while spining over the motor. 10.85v at disconnect switch on both sides. I'm only getting 8.45v to the starter is this normal? I have a #1 welding cable running from battery to kill switch to the ford relay. The starter is a powermaster 9000 a bit undersized for this motor only 160lbs of tourqe. 13to1 comp bbc. I checked all grounds and there good. All cables and crimps are good. So it has to be Either the battery or the starter correct?? I'm going to replace the ford relay just for kicks. What do you guys suggest??
