[QUOTE="vwsunseeker, post: 622777, member: 23570"] Hi, 12 v at the battery is fine to engage the starter motor, does the starter engage and cranks slowly or does the solenoid just click or is there nothing when trying to start? Voltage drop is very common in our old busses when trying to engage the starter motor due to the way the current travels check out your ignition switch and fusebox wiring and measure for voltage drop you may also need a hard start relay kit https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/ac9112917-hard-start-relay-kit-12v.html cheers [/QUOTE]
