1986 Starter
Starter just clicks, Bought a rebuilt same thing, new solenoid same thing. Put
starter in a vise and tired using a battery same thing. If I push down on that
part that pushes out the pinon it works. I can just push a little, the pinion gear
does not even move and the starter will work. Is there some kind of voltage
increase somewhere in the wiring that gives that electromagnetic a boast to
get the gear to pop out. Tried boost 50 amp on my charger and it acted the
same way. We were trying to figure out if some of the cables to the starter
are bad is why we tested out of the truck. We bought the truck not running,
we have the distributor back in, the water pump, thermostat etc back in. We
were to the point where we would see if it ran. LOL
