I have a 1945 2N Ford. It has developed a propensity for inconsistent starting. I've had the battery checked and it is fine.
If I leave it on a charger all night I maybe have 50/50 chance of it starting next AM. If it doesn't fire within about 3-4 turns of the crank, it's dead. I've check all connections for corrosion and connection. Battery is fully charged at 6.8 volts. Turn on the key, it drops to 6.2. Push the starter, doesn't start, it goes to 5.6 volts and no power goes to the starter. It's completely dead. Where would someone suggest I begin to look? Cheers!
