"Im knocking off problems one
"Im knocking off problems one by one and the other day the starter stopped engaging and started spinning freely,(like a high pitch whine). To me it seems as if the pinion isnt popping out to mesh the fly wheel (don't know exact terminology) The starter is fairly new too.
So I put it on the work bench attatched the positive end of a battery to the terminal where the small yellow with a red striped wire usually connects too (test was in a shop book) and the pinion DID pop out. So i replaced a slightly corroded connection while I was at it because it snapped while I was uninstalling it and put it back in for a try and it cranked the engine for about 2 seconds and spun again and spins freely now with that same whiny winding noise???
Any ideas guys"
