Until a couple of days ago, car has been turning over quickly and starting right away. Now it still starts, but very slow to turn over. Went from working great to causing grief with no warning and no slow degradation of performance. Getting drop in voltage at battery to about 10.5 V or so when cranking. Regular battery voltage is 12.9 V. Have checked all connections and all seem tight and clean. Will take all apart and clean to be certain, but that does not seem to be the problem (all connections are essentially new as I've only got about 2000 miles on car since restoration). Think either the solenoid or starter (old bomb style, which was rebuilt) has failed or needs attention. My question is: How do I determine whether it is the solenoid or the starter that is the issue?
