Newbee here with starting issue on zd323. Inconsistently and when cold, unit will not start (turnover) although starter solenoid clicks. Checked battery (13+ volts), alternator is charging at correct amps, 12+ volts ar starter and all safety switches functioning correctly. After a few tries, starter operates, slowly at first, then at full speed and motor starts. Once warm, no repeat of issue. Removed and cleaned all cables and grounds but issue still occurs. What else can be done to test the starter short of pulling it for a bench test? Don’t want to replace it ($350+) unless it’s bad.
