I have twin 787 on my challenger 1800. One motor starts. One does not start.

The motor that does not start make a click during crank (sometimes). If I bypass the solenoid to "jump start" it I get the same results. Voltage at my battery falls off to 7-8 volts while cranking this motor. Voltage was taken at the starter and the battery. I can turn the motor by hand. I bought a new starter and it did not help.

So far I did the following without it helping;

replaced starter with new one.
Pulled the starter from the good motor and tried it.
Replaced both power and ground wire from the good side.
replaced solenoid

Any ideas thanks
 
After spending more time on the motor I found out it was hydrolocked. I think hydrolocked is the correct term. I was able to turn the motor earlier by hand but now Im second guessing if I did it with the plugs in or out. Either way, the motor cranked over With the plugs removed.
