1960 Porsche 356 that has a new battery and a good starter but the engine turns over very slowly or barely at all and can't figure out what the problem is?

That's normal, It's a 6 volt... If it's tuned good it will fire up, I'm amazed mine starts cranking so slow
If it is too slow in time it will turn over slowly. Have the timing checked.

Why does your car turn over slowly and barely starts when the battery is at 12.6 volts?
first of all if you have a good battery and im not saying you do but it could be fuel or air intake, your starter, or loss of compression.. but to test a battery you have to check it before you start your car then get someone to crank it and test it again because all battery will keep a surface charge but they loose that once a load is applied
What is a sentence for barely?
We were barely able to see anything with all the fog in the way.
What are possible problems on why a 1970 Ford Torino with a 351M that was runnig b4 it was parked for 3 mnthsnot ceased up is barely turning over and wont start even with new starter and full batt.?
More than likely the alternator is bad ....

yes but barely.

If I replaced the starter and battery and battery cables on my 350 and the starter barely turns the engine What now?
If you are 100% sure that the battery is good and all the connections are clean and tight, then you need a new starter. But make sure all that is okay first. does it have the right starter on it to start with? Have you been working on the engine and have it out of time??
Your 1996 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L is barely turning over but the battery is fine What else could it be?
Maybe your starter.
Why dont i get full battery power from new battery the truck shows that the battery is like dead it cranks over really slow n it drains the battery and the cranking gets slower whats wrong?
Most likely the starter is "dragging" due to worn bushings. When the bushings wear, the starter will "drag" against the interior of the housing and barely spin, causing the battery to drain.
If the engine doesn't start after the first time I try a second time and the starter just barely turns the engine over battery drain?
Get your battery tested, I think a new one might be in order.
Battery fully charged but engine barely turns over 350 Chevy?
Connection from battery to starter is bad, starter is bad or engine is bad. It's usually not the engine. Start by clearing the connection. If you can get good access to the bendix on the starter, a quick test is to run a jumper cable (the ones you use to jump start the car are great for this) from the positive post on the battery to the battery bolt on the starter solenoid. Clamp it on, take the car out of gear and use a short jumper to connect the keyswitch lug on the solenoid to the side of the jumper cable clamp. Make this jumper by crimping a push-on connector to each end of a foot-long piece of 12-gauge stranded wire. If the car cranks good, just change the cable from the starter to the battery and you're done. If it doesn't work, pull the starter and have it tested.

How do you diagnose your car not starting you have already replaced the battery and it use to barely turn over but now it is nothing when you turn the key please help?
Make sure battery is fully charged Check battery cables --make sure they are tight and not corroded Depending on age and mileage of vehicle--timing chain may have "jumped' Check starter for excessive current draw Check starter solenoid Check neutral safety or clutch safety switches
What would cause your 94 miata to run great and then it wont start let it sit for about 3 days and it will start right up?
I had similar problem, this page helped me a lot: http://www.racecaddy.com/mx5/tech/starter-mx5.html In the end my was the starter it was old and barely working.
Why is your car just barely starting when you just changed the alternator and the battery is good?
Can be loose or corroded battery cables. If you see a bulge in one of the cables, replace it. Can also be a defective starter. If the engine is turning over as it should but is just hard to start, you have a fuel problem. Replace the fuel filter first thing. You may also have weak spark plugs or plug wires. Depends on the age of the vehicle and mileage. ==ANOTHER ANSWER== It's difficult to determine what is wrong from just a description, but if you mean that the starter does not turn the engine as fast as you think it should there are only a few possibilities. 1. The battery could be in good shape but have an insufficient charge. If you're certain that the alternator is functioning properly, that's not the problem. Use a voltmeter and test the voltage with the engine running. You should be able to produce about 14.5 volts under normal conditions with the engine running at about 1000 rpm and just about everything on. (the big power consumers are the rear window defrost, blower and lights) 2. The starter motor could be severely worn and "dragging". When the bushings are worn out the starter motor will not turn easily and it can sound like a dead battery. You'll need to check the starter to see if it's pulling too much current. There are special meters for that, don't try to use your multimeter. 3. If the alternator is functioning properly and the starter isn't drawing too much current the only other option is that the starter isn't getting enough current. That can be caused by either a faulty battery or a bad connection.
What does it mean when you try to start your car and it makes a single click sound but wont start?
Most likely your starter has failed. Old school test: Make sure your battery is good and fully charged. Make sure cable connections to battery are clean and tight. Locate the starter and, depending on access, TAP on the main starter body with a hammer, pipe, long 3/8" extension, broom stick, etc. While someone turns the ignition to the start position. If starter engages and cranks the engine or produces grinding noise and will only barely turn over, the starter is bad. There are other possilble causes, but you gotta start somewhere.
Why is it my battery will barely turn the motor over and when it does start you have to pump the gas pedal to keep it running?
The battery is weak and needs replaced. when the battery is weak the computer can forget how to idle.
Why does my starter work only sometimes?
Without knowing even the make of your vehicle, I think you should suspect the starter contacts. They can get burned and worn away and barely make contact . . . or sometimes not.
