8N Electrical Issue

1.6v on the starter post in reference to where?

Two fully charged batteries wouldn't budge the starter. Took it out, put it back in, and started fine with a single battery.

I think many of my past issues were weak batteries, and this last time maybe the starter was partially engaged with a weak battery, and the Bendix was hung up somehow.

You can't measure resistance with voltage on the circuit.

What is the voltage on the battery post when cranking? If it isn't 1.6v, you have a cable or solenoid contacts problem.

If it is 1.6v you have a bad battery.

If you had watched the video that I posted in #10, you would have fixed it by now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhRPLgH6uZg

That was a great video, thank you.
