Re: Starter issue
If you can turn it over easily with the crank, when the plugs are in, it is not an engine problem or bolts interfering (remember starter bolts no longer than 1"). As to the starter when you bench check it it is not under load and can/will turn. If something is defective inside to not allow it to have any torque when attached to the engine, you will have to dig a bit deeper. As to the battery, have you tried jumping it from a known good battery, say your daily driver? If it won't turn over with a known good 12 volt battery, it most likely be your starter. Make sure your contacts a good both positive and negative to bare metal. Good luck, wish I was there to help....
remember a volt meter will only give voltage, to check the battery properly you need a battery load tester, about $20-30 at harbor freight
