In this case the ohm's resistance will be the indicator
In Response To: Will do ()
With high resistance due to corrosion/oxidation, the 'affected zone' will heat up during high cranking loads ... the 'downstream' voltage will drop and the amperage will go towards infinity. Power (amps X voltage) is what turns a starter.

- Check the battery and all secondary connections to the starter
- IF you can borrow a "hot shot" portable starter

- Could check for bearing wear causing excessive friction....
