New starter problem

[oldyeler]

Also Dave . I would like to hear your feedback about the exhaust system.
I have posted two more pics on my web space The link is in the Idea for a t-4 muffler post hear at GL.com.
I don,t care if you hate it ,or like it, or whatever.
Please see if you think I should risk losing a real good sounding muffler by tuckinig it up 1x1/2 higher under the car.
I value your opion. You know what the real thing is supose to look like.
I know it not a real one, But will itbe good enough, as is ? or should I go for broke.?

I checked the voltage at the starter three times an wiggled the selector three time while a neighbor checked the reading at the starter all this while holding the key switch. we got 10.8 every time.
One more thing I'm not sure if it makes any difference I am running a deep cycle gel cell battery. I am hoping ,that too helps the overall voltage?

10.8V should be enough to engage the solenoid... if there's a good ground connection as well. Go through the rest of that tech article and keep checking things as it suggests.

The gel cell battery should be just fine, as long as there's a charge in it. With 10+V at the starter, sounds like there's a charge in it!
