At the last driver change at our last race our car wouldn't start. It would just barely turn over, but not enough to start. So we push started it and finished the race.
We thought it might be a bad battery. We did by this one on the cheap at the pick and pull. We put a charger on it and much later I tried and just barely got it to start. I let it idle for a long time, but later it wouldn't start. So I got the jumpers on it and it still wouldn't start, it still was acting like a bad battery, but I know it was getting plenty of juice from my other car's battery / alternator. The battery actually had good voltage. The alternator puts out almost 14v when running. When attempting to start it, the solenoid does engage and it just barely turns over.
I believe that it is the starter motor. I'm about to buy a new one from rockauto. I'm just looking for a second opinion.
