<VV> Battery charger with 50 Amp "Engine Start" enough ?

[Charles Lee]

As I said, it's the same results with two good, charged batteries.

It was previously running fairly well, pinging and knocking from sitting for 
13 years, and now it won't crank ... even with a "jump starter" thingy ???

I pulled the plugs and tried to turn the engine with the fan belt, and it 
seems harder than normal (very hard), making me think terrible things ...

PS - JR:

Banging on starter would free up stuck solenoid, but will that help sluggish 
cranking ?
