Aha! Your problem is a bad engine ground. Run a 4 gauge or bigger wire between the engine and the chassis and your problem will be solved. Tim

PS: Of course I'm assuming the trigger wire was hooked up to the starter while testing & you were grounding the black lead of your meter to the chassis (not the engine).
