Start system has new battery (only a couple months old) two new solenoids, new battery cables, cleaned up all the connections. Checked the impedance through the start system wires, seems good. Starter was bench tested at the start of all this. Just doesn't want to go. Can hear the bendex engage and the starter hum a bit, but no movement. Engine bars over by hand smoothly, just gets tough every 180 degrees, which I assume is just the compression, but feels pretty tough, could by hydraulics. Put a meter on the starter terminal and the negative post on the battery and saw the voltage drop to 2 volts on startup. Is that normal, doesn't seem right to me...? Thanks.</p></blockquote><p></p>
