[Healeys] Fw: volt drop

[warthodson at aol.com]

How are you measuring voltage drop? Are you taking the voltage reading from
the solenoid terminal connected directly to the battery to ground or the
terminal on the starter to ground? Are you measuring the voltage with or
without the starter cranking?

Voltage drop is usually associated with high resistance joints rather than
he cable itself. Have you checked and cleaned all of the connections to the
attery, starter solenoid etc? Dirty or loose connections would give the
ame symptoms.
