Thanks for reply , twice tested after turning it on , once 11.54 volts this morning then 12.31 after charging battery . Had battery checked , its o'k' . Tomorrow i'll inspect/clean all leads and connections , then test again . This low voltage may have something to do with my suspected fuel starve issues ? , cheers.
