The weather finally broke this week. Snow on Tuesday, 73F today.
Yesterday, I got my '77B out of storage. It drove the 15 miles home on the
freeway wonderfully, with the top down of course.
However, it wouldn't start. We tried 2 different batteries, and with a
professional charger, with start boost. Nothing. Fortunately, we had a nice
little decline for a bump start.
I charged my battery over night, and messured it at 13.4. When cranking, it
will drop to the high 11 range. What I get is you can here what sounds like
the starter turning very slowly. Not the click and nothing you associate with
a dead battery. The fuel pump clicks normally.
So I'm going to pull the starter, perhaps tonight. But is there anything else
I should try first. Can I bench test the starter, or is that better left to
the autoparts store.
