I took a break on the car to work on some other things, and also because it just about needed a jump every time I wanted to start it. At least part of the reason was a bad battery, which I just now replaced. Apparently it wasn't the only culprit, cause even with plenty of juice I'm getting this:

I still need to recheck the valve clearance and repeat the compression test, and I will get to that soon. The difficult starts may be completely related to all that. But in the meantime, should I be checking anything else? Anyone think this could be a weak starter, or does the starter appear to be doing its job?

Also, can anyone tell me what that noise is after I stop trying to start it up? It's a buzzing electrical noise coming from the electrical box at the very end of the video...not sure what that's called. It stops after a few seconds on its own.
