Long time no post... Put the Fergies on hold for awhile and coaching my little on in softball.
Question: can a starter solinoid be tested to see if its good or bad.
On my ol volter, I was getting the click click for several months the one click and not nothing. Battery is up and connections have been check.
Bought a new 6v. solinoid, different physical appearance, and not I get NOTHING. -no click no nothing. I have battery cable going to post labled "battery". question 1. can I reverse the battery and starter leads to see if that makes any difference? question 2. should there be any voltage across solinoid with key off? I get 7v. across solinoid posts with key on or off (no change.) I just wonder if I have a bad solinoid from Flea Bay? Old solinoid has obvious rattle when I shake it...but appears to be solid old American piece. Does the solinoid need to be grounded (about the only thing I didnt do was clean the mounting location of solinoid. I guess im stumped I dont even get a click.
Many thanks, Mark
