Ok I took the batt. out and had it tested. its a 1000 cca. they said it was 100% good.
I took the old starter out and put the new style small one in. it spins it fast and you can hardly hear the starter now. still the same problem. 9.6v cranking. it try's to hit but wont start. put a jump box or a charger on it and it starts right up. I can't believe you can crank that much motor and only lose 1 volt. how close is your batt. to the motor.
