worked all week. batt read same, 12,6,got clicks,no crank.
instead of "screwdriver jump" i used cables, got 14 volts, zoom it cranked right now.
it often does that with 12,6 v.
i think the starter is stickey,,,going to pull it for new.
tired of wondering.

 

go over all the connections and make sure they are clean and tight, check and clean all the grounds, sounds more like a connection problem than a starter

 

Connection connections connections.

 

he's a wiring guru and he doesn't believe grounds have an effect.

haha just playing around nujeepguy from yesterday.

 

Good advice given.

Starter coated in oil?

 

My first thought. Might need to replace the oil filter adapter o-rings.

 

NEW, 2 weeks old starter

 

just tried x3,,,3 clicks.
swap relays, start<>ac clutch.
turn key crank,start. cooincidence? time will tell,m ill still keep my screwdriver handy,,,and get some new relays.

a friend, very good in electronics, says he took apart relays and cleaned contacts,,,not me!!

once running it always restarts that day.?

 

started this morn,,no clicke so im hoping the relay did it. whats a GOOD source for relays , ill buy some!
