A defective battery will not provide enough voltage to run the ignition and the starter. Once the starter is off the voltage goes up and the coil fires before the engine stops turning over.


Clip a meter to one of the nuts on the terminal block and measure the voltage with and without the starter running, should be only a small amount of difference.
