The starter turns sluggishly yet draws less current than normal. Why?

  • A.Excessive engine friction, which loads the starter and therefore reduces the current that it is able to draw
  • B.High resistance in the supply or a discharged battery
  • C.A seized engine, which draws a very low current because the starter is unable to turn it at any speed
  • D.A faulty starter winding

Answer: B

If the current is low and cranking is slow, something is limiting the current: a bad connection, a poor earth or a flat battery. Friction raises current rather than lowering it, which makes the last two options describe the opposite condition. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
