I have Tiger Cub STC48V 24 BS . Is the solenoid bad? A new battery reading 12.5 v . The solenoid activates but just chatters. If I jump it with a car battery it's OK and spins the starter. the battery voltage does drop some when trying to start.I did the following tests
read battery voltage 12.5
disconnected starter cable at the solenoid
connected voltage meter to G/W wire and read 11+ voltage when trying to start, black wire to ground
solenoid seems to come in like its supposed to
read 12 + at the starter terminal when trying to start
connected starter cable back to the solenoid
read less than 2 volts at the g/w wire when trying to start ,solenoid chattering
read 0 voltage at the starter terminal when trying to start
the solenoid will chatter some when jumping but does come in and spln the starter
