If the crankshaft was not rotated to check the starting
motor, bar the crankshaft in the direction of engine rotation
to make sure the engine is free and does not have an
internal malfunction.
If the engine is free, check the voltage at the starting motor
during cranking. If the voltage drops more than 2.4 VDC on
a 12-VDC system, check that all connections are tight. The
limit for 24-VDC systems is 4.8 VDC.
If the cables are correct and the voltage drop exceeds the
limit, replace the starting motor.
If the crankshaft requires more than normal effort to bar,
check for excessive load from the driven units and
accessories.
