Only replaced the bad one. The other load tested good. Why? It is turning over quick and strong now.

just thinking with one old battery being borderline if you still have an mperage problem
guess you could do a test by putting jumpers on the old battery and see if things change

The problem I am having now is that it does not start firing until about the 8th to 10th turn over. It doesn't actually start until the 12th to 14th turn over. Would not replacing both batteries at once cause this?
Do you have access to something that can capture audio, so we can listen to it and go from there?
