Starter problems

[Kloth, Gerald]

Take the battery out and have it tested. I went through a similar
problem this summer.  First, I had trouble with hot starts.  Then, it
would not start at all after sitting a few days.  The battery can read
the correct voltage but not be able to provide sufficient current to
crank the starter.

After my last race, my B13 would not start.  When I turned the key, I
would hear a small click but that was it.  Recently, I put a volt meter
on the starter poles and it showed 12V.  Next I put it on the solenoid
wire and it also jumped to 12v when I turned the key.  I figured that I
had a bad starter.  I removed it and had it tested at Advance this
morning and it tested fine.    Previously to the complete failure,
occasionally it was take several turns of the key to get the starter to
activate.  When it did, it seemed normal.  At that time, I was thinking
it was a key/ignition problem.  I just bought a used starter from JGY.
I'm planning to install that one tonight to see if it helps.  The guy at
Advance suggested that my battery may be bad but showing the right
voltage. Anybody have any other suggestions?
