Starter intermittent

[Alan Pritchard]

Start with easy things first, taker the battery out of the equation by
running a known good.
Then check for damaged wiring, corroded terminals etc. lastly might be
worth checking the starter itself.......

Hi guys.

I need your help again.  The patient is 88 90Q.  Lately, the starter has
become
intermittent.  Usually it 
starts fine, but sometimes just wouldn't budge.  There is current draw
(voltmeter needle
drops to about 
8V) but no reaction.  I had the starter "rebuilt" about a year ago and
would expect it to
be fine.  Where 
should I look when I take it apart on the weekend?  For now, I park at
high ground just in
case so I can 
push start it.
TIA

Radek
