Deb&Eds38Low voltage at ignition
Having some trouble starting the Monarch.
I have 12.8 volts at the batteries but the when I turn on the key it reads 11.2 and doesn't engage the starter. generator is fine and everything else works any ideas?

RustyFirst try to start with headlights on - if they dim, suspect connections at battery.
Otherwise, it could be a ground problem; clean all the grounds at chassis and engine/transmission.

Deb&Eds38If nothing else works hit the starter solenoid with a hammer. I did and it started right up.
Now that I can get it out of the driveway I will take it in and have it checked over.
Not bad. First problem in two years.
