no starter engagement - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

By observing the 4-5 volt drop when the clutch was depressed suggests that the switch and wiring for the clutch is not the MOST likely culprit.
It points towards the starter itself.
You could try the long big screw driver and hammer technique to rap on the starter motor while praying.
But it is more likely that the starter motor requires a rebuild.
Again keep us posted.
