[b:aff1e2afcf]front mount 8n, original 6 volt.[/b:aff1e2afcf]
started and ran fine, and after i shut it off to do something and then tried to restart all I got was a click. Didn't have a hydrometer to test the battery, so i thought it might be the solonoid and replaced that as i had one handy. still just a click and nothing, so likely not the solonoid.
cleaned all the connections including the battery to cable connections and pulled the starter out a bit and cleaned the mating surfaces and still just got a click.
tried to jump directly to the starter with a fully charged 12v 750 amp booster and still just got a single click, presumably from the starter. Negative lead connected to the starter post and positive lead to ground.
To my mind I've eliminated the solonoid, safety interlock switch, connections and battery as being the problem since i've cleaned, replaced or bypassed all of them. So does that pretty much mean I've got a problem in the starter itself? Or is there something else I can do to narrow down the problem?
Thanks in advance for the help - I always appreciate it.
