Nope, it's not the battery. I swapped it into my good car last night and it started it right up. It's a 1 year old Interstate. I just measured it at 13 volts at the terminals. Good and strong. The terminals, cable and ground connection are clean as a whistle. I made them that way last spring when I was preparing for concours competition.
I can't bang the starter with a hammer because there's not enough access to swing anything. The G50 is not like the 915 carreras where access is easy. A gentle tap is all I could manage and that did nothing.
I have a sloped driveway and a sloped, straight street. I'm going to bump start it in reverse going down the driveway, or, failing that, start it in forward gear while coasting down the street. If it starts, I'll drive it around for a bit and park it back in the garage and give the starter another chance. Whether it starts successfully or not, it's going to a shop for starter replacement either under its own power or piggyback on a flatbed. I'm not physically capable of doing anything strenuous right now.
I appreciate all the suggestions!
