Digital multi-meter set on DC volts connected to the start battery. If the battery is fully charged the voltage will be ~ 12.7 volts.
Start the motor. Once the motor is running, the voltage seen at the battery will rise. At a fast idle, a minute or so after the motor has begun to run, I would expect to see a voltage above 14 volts.
Checked voltage before starting motor. 12.9 volts
Checked voltage after starting motor slow idle. 13.9 volts
Checked voltage at med idle. 14.1 volts
I think it is good. replaced battery with blue top Ultima. Thanks for the help.
