I dont suppose this corresponds to the engine being hot ?
on my 85GL auto with an old & then a brand new Bosch starter this would
happen.
the volt meter showed some thing less han 10volts when the engine
compartment was hot, but when cold to warm we'd get better than 10volts
so we put a relay between the starter switch & the starter
just like the air cooled guys that have the same issue
and its been reliable ever since
