The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Starter not quite up to the task after rebuild

if Babbet bearings are set up correctly during a rebuild, they should not be so tight that the starter with a good battery will not start the car.

You only having 5.1 volts could very well be the issue, however you previously stated that the engine is tight when trying to turn it by hand.

You may have 2 issues going on.
