I?ve tried and tried to figure out what?s going on with my newly rebuilt ?66 5000 SOS diesel. It will just not crank fast enough to fire it up. I?ve
cleaned and made sure everything is ?bright and tight?. Had the starter checked out twice. New battery cables. Battery tests fine. I?ve got it
started a few times, but think I have a fuel delivery issue so it wouldn?t stay started. The stud on the side of the starter connected to the solenoid
will get HOT after only seconds of cranking...smoking hot. Everything I?ve read says it?s most likely a bad ground, but I just don?t see it. I?m
going to borrow a battery off a friends tractor tomorrow to see if that works, but thought I?d ask here ahead of time to see what y?all might think.
