After start while idle: high 13
Rev half way : mid 13

Your charging system is working. Maybe not perfect but it is definitely working.
I'll guess it always turns over for you... jerp jerp jerp... always the same. Just hard to start.
Carb is the way to go.

Sorry! One more thing. Pull the spark plug and if you can take a picture of it and post it here. We wanna see the
end that make the fire. Electrodes. If it's a brand new plug then nevermind. But if it's been in there firing with the
problem we may be able to 'read' it for a lean or rich condition.
