[DML] Re: Still no start

["TalksToGod" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

Take the starter out and bench test the starter yourself. Then you
will know what the deal is, and what to do next. As long as you have a
12 volt battery and some jumpers, you are all set. Put the starter in
a vice or on an open bench- it does jump a little bit with the torque
when you do this, but this is only slight and under control if you
have a hand holding it down- its not going to fly out the window or
anything like that on you so don't be worried. If in doubt just put it
in a vice. Hook up a ground to the body of the starter somewhere and
once you have a hand on the starter touch the positive to the large
terminal under the one that usually has the large red wires going to
it. It's the only other larger size terminal on the solenoid and you
should see it connects to a smaller terminal. Starter should engage,
and you should see the gear slide forward as if it would engage the
flywheel. If it doesn't slide forward you know your starter needs
repair. If it does, then you have eliminated your starter as a
problem, and know the problem is on the flywheel side. Your engine
isn't seized is it? If you need starter repairs or testing please
contact me off list. Perhaps there is something blocking the gear from
sliding all the way forward?-check it out, let us know.
