`I'm having a slow cranking problem on a fresh 540" big block motor I'm working on. It's 12.5:1 compression and has a Proform hi-torque mini starter on it but when I try to start it it cranks very slow then stops all together? It was running on a test stand so the motor itself isn't the problem. I did try another battery and it does the same thing. The battery is in the trunk and has either 0 or 2 gauge wire running to the starter and 2 gauge ground cable to the cage in the trunk. Solid motor and trans mount plus 2 ground straps from the block to the k-member and body so I doubt that's a problem. I took the starter in to have it checked and even though it spun fast, there's no way to check it under a load so I'm out of ideas on what to try next before spending money on another starter. Any electrical tests I can try first?
Thanks for any help!
