Hello.... My first post and I'm already looking for help.
I have an ongoing issue with my MGB. To simplify, there doesn't seem to be enough juice to crank. If I boost it it works... but still cranks slow... or seems laboured.
I've replaced the battery and know it's good. I've replaced the ground and positive leads and ensured they are good. I found a current draw and have eliminated that.
When I test at the battery I get 12.8V. When I test at the starter positive terminal, I get 12.7V. When I test off the other post I get 0V and when I crank I get 11.3V.
The original starter was just replaced. I was having the same issue with it.
Is there something else I should be looking for? I can't trust taking this car anywhere as I know once driven, I have about 10% chance that it will crank.
