We manage a fleet of 15500 Yales in a paper mill and the starters are failing left and right due to a voltage drop to the starter solenoid. We wired an outside solenoid in series with the start lead to the starter to alleviate the issue for now. This environment demands excessive stops and starts.

Any tips on where the voltage drop may be located in the start wiring?

When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
