So I had a thread going last month and was getting some good advice but then the person helping me stopped responding. I don't know why. Maybe they got tired of my questions or something....'
The engine on my motor won't turn over. I can turn it by hand (with the plugs out) so I know it's not seized. I put 12v pwr to the Br/W selonoid wire and the bendix jumps up to the flywheel but gets stuck up there and i have to tap it down.
I took it off the engine and bench tested it. When I apply voltage to the Br/W wire to the solenoid the bendix jumps up and then retracts after removing power.
When I apply power to the wire that goes from the solenoid to the starter; the bendix gear turns quicky as it would when egaged with the flywheel and starting the engine. (but it doesn't jump up like when applying pwr to the Br/W wire, which may be normal based on bench testing)
So it seems to bench test ok but when on the engine won't turn it over, even with the plugs out. Maybe it doesn't have enough pwr to turn the engine over? i.e. it's basically failed?
Any ideas/feedback?
thx
