The voltmeter would have shown that immediately . The old VOM is your best friend at troubleshooting.

Kev is right. I had a new battery in my Ambo that was installed and never tested. Turns out it had a dead cell from day one!! Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Graf To: Loopfram-@topica.com Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 11:16 AM Subject: RE: Slow Cranking Starter
To add to Patrick's ideas, Always start with a know good batt. don't assume it's good 'cause it's new. Probably is ok, but..... I would also check your charging output.
Does it slow start, after riding for a while? If it only happens after sitting maybe you have a drain on the battery.

. Any ideas.
Inspect and clean ALL wiring connections in this circuit. Use good dielectric grease on reassembly.
Inspect your timing. Too much advance at idle can slow down and
stop a
starter motor.
Test another starter in this bike. Consider disassembly and
cleaning of
the starter and to ensure there are no burned up armature wirings.
