You weren't using a harbor freight multimeter were you?

My friend had one that he used for a while and he thought he just didn't understand electricity well because he could never get his installs to work out quite right. Turns out his HF meter was reading +/-3 volts. Brought my Fluke over and he was simultaneously annoyed and relieved lol.
It's a craftsman. Not top of the line but I expect better than harbor freight. This was on a lawn mower, if you jumped it off a car it started fine
