Ok so I washed the "new" 88 that I just got. Engine bay as well. Engine running while I'm washing it, turn it off about 2 hours later I cant get it to start. I turn the key and I hear a rapid ticking sound, like when the battery doen't have enough juice to kick the solenoid. Tried to jump it and the same thing happens. So I have the battery tested. Walmart says they charged it and its good. put it back in and still no luck. Battery is reading 12.03v at the post. 11.09v at the starter terminal. So I go buy a starter. Put it in and still get the same ticking sound. ANy ideas?
If I get 12 volts at the battery and 12 volts at the starter terminal shouldn't the wire from the battery to the starter be ok?
