Hello all. Picked up an 8n that i was told was in better shape than it is.
I'm not able to get it to turn over. I replaced the battery and can get the solenoid to click once upon initial press of the starter button. then no noise, no starter spin. I suspected the starter was toast (banged up on the side pretty good from hammer strikes.) I replaced the starter. Same exact behavior. I verified the solenoid providing power at the starter side, and cleaned the brass connector.
Engine does not appear seized as i can see the fan spinning when i move it in gear.
Any thoughts of what to check? I'm ready to throw $300 at it to bump it up to 12v
