I bought a Odyssey PC680 battery. Installed it into the plane. Powered up the system and turned the engine over without the top plugs in and ignition off. The engine rotated in the proper direction with no worries. Put plugs in, powered up ignition for engine start, tried to start again and almost nothing happened. The prop moved but only an inch and then a loud clicking. Released start button and press again - same thing over and over - 3 - 4 attempts.
The battery has been on charge for the last 2 weeks.
I replaced the starter solenoid thinking it was the culprit - same results as above.
Engine (Lycoming O320-A2B, newly rebuilt with new cylinders pistons and rings, new crank, everything else 0 time, assembled by an A&P.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
