Re: starter

Tom, If the voltage does not drop when you push the starter button, the switch is not making contact. Clean the contacts with a file or sand paper and then put some conductive electrical grease on them. If that fails buy a new switch.
Of course, it could also be that your starter has gone bad. This can happen if the brushes are worn too much or stuck in their holders or if the armature commutator has a coating of black gunk or there is a broken wire somewhere in the starter. To test the starter, bypass the switch by touching the cable to the terminal on top of the starter with the switch removed. Be careful not to touch the cable to ground and disconnect the battery ground strap when you put things back together.
