Hey Folks,

My home-brew rewire and lube of my old starter finally burner out after two
years, I tried today to put in a used one I picked up. It's a no-go, and I'm
trying to figure out why.

There's a strong solenoid "click" when installed, but no motor action. On
the "bench" there's the standard thrust engagement when 12v are applied to
the solenoid, and the motor spins when 12v are given to the lower terminal.

Is this a bad solenoid not giving juice to the motor? I can't figure it out.
I'll be scrambling tomorrow to find a new (or known working) starter
regardless, so if anyone know a well stocked resource in NYC I'd be much
obliged. Still, its a mystery.

Thanks,
