Have you checked the ignition?

i think it is the metal tab in the power distubution box. i did some checkin and i found a few issues relating to this. the main power goes to a tab in the center of the box then splices off from there. id put money on the tab being cracked or rusted from the water gettin splashed up in there from the lilly pad autox.

that would explaine the voltage drop. also its always sumptin simple stupid. im not callin ya stupid..........simple

words of tom ryan, they ring true always

Check the junction on the starter where the main power is and the power for the solenoid, betcha they are touching or close enough to arc.
