Ventus CM starting problems

For those who own Ventus Cm: have you ever measured the voltage on the starter when it is running?. Mine, with fully charged battery, while electric starter is running, voltage on battery fall out to 10volts, and on starter I measured only 6 or 6.5 volts. I have a voltage lost of aprox 2 volts over the positive wire and 1.5 over the negative one. Is that normal? I have starting troubles sometimes and i think it is because of it. What can you tell me about it?
You might also try using a clamp-on ammeter to check for excessive
current draw. Not out of the realm of possibility that shorted windings
on the starter motor are causing unusually high current, which would
lead to large drops on the cables and at the battery.
