     only thing i can suggest check plugs and the leads make sure there pushed all the way into the coil. other than that put it into the stealer.

    welcome to the mad house by the way!

    Aren't you supposed to measure it when its starting (cold cranking amps) - not when its running? Since its a new battery and starting on alternate days (presuming your not charging it each time?) maybe its not the problem - so maybe moisture getting in somewhere (like fuses) it shouldn't?
