starter not starting

Hi All

This is a 74 Bay with a 2.0L CJ engine. Last night she took me home fine.
Later I tried to start it and it does nothing, just a dimming in the
lights, but no starting engine and no starting noise. The Haynes manual
says the battery must be low, but I charged it overnight and this morning I
have the same problem. Any ideas?
How should troubleshoot this?

TIA
Ant

Check the connections on the battery. Check groundwires from battery to
chassis and chassis to gearbox
Got a Voltmeter? Messure the voltage on your battery when everything is
turned off. Should be about 12Volt.
Measure again during key in position "Start" - should not go under 9-10
Volt if so - your battery is broken down or very empty for power.
Can you get your engine running with "startercables" ? Yes? Then measure
the voltage at the battery with headlights on about 2000 -3000 rpm. Should
be 13-14,3 Volt - if not your generator/alternator is not working.....

It sounds like you need a 'hard start relay kit'.

Hard start relay kit? Sounds interesting. I wonder what the pros and
cons of one of those kits are... :-D

Why would I want my car to be harder to start?

I think I'd suspect the starter before making modifications to the original
design.
