First make absolutely sure you have good cables and connections to the starter and ground. The cable posts can get corroded internally and is not visible unless you peel back the sheathing.

Second, buy or borrow a volt meter and place it across the battery posts and with the engine idling insure you are getting at least 13 vdc or more it may read betseen 12-14.5vdc depending on battery charge.
