We have a 1961 4010 diesel. As we have posted and read on this forum it appears to have been correctly converted to the early
4020 system. We posted this problem before Christmas and determined that the starter was bad. We got a new starter and installed
it. Now we either get a click or nothing when we engage the starter.
The (+) terminal on the RH battery is connected to the terminal stud on the engine side of the starter "belly".
The (-) terminal on the LH battery is connected to the large and topmost terminal stud on the starter solenoid.
Measuring the voltage between the two studs just mentioned gives us a voltage reading of 24 Volts (nominal).
The little ground wire/fusible link is installed. We touch the black digital voltmeter lead to a nice, clean area on the
chassis, and the red lead to the battery cable stud on the starter solenoid, voltmeter reads (-) 12 Volts (nominal).
We touch the red lead to the battery cable stud on engine side of starter belly, voltmeter reads (+) 12 Volts (nominal)
What suggestions can you give us?
