Sorry to hear about your bad news.Originally posted by topsparky
I think it might be worn and drawing too much current.

I doubt it, ignition circuit will still work even with a minimum of 6V to trigger it.Never show a fool a half built house.

When my alternator belt broke, the car ran fine untill the voltage dropped to about 8V.SSComment

As i mentioned it's not a Voltage issueOriginally posted by ~Delta
it's a current Amps. concern.
Thats why some cars can turn over engine without firing alot
longer that other because of current consumption.

I am well aware of the relationship between amps and volts, Charlie. I have an S2 starter motor you can borrow, but I still doubt it'll solve you problem.Never show a fool a half built house.

I pulled the starter when I had start probs. It is a piece of cake to do. As soon as I had it in my hands, the problem was obvious. Corrosion.
There is a braided copper wire on the outside of the motor. It feeds 12V to the starter. What I had left were a few strands due to corrosion. Have a look at yours. It just might be the problem. The fix just cost me about 1£ for a new wire + some soldering.Comment
