: Motor won't turn over. Replaced battery, cleaned terminals,removed starter switch cover and ground contacts clean.
: Next? Take starter apart and clean?
: Any ideas for how to test?(I'm no mechanic, so it needs to be simple)
: It's still a 6 volt if that matters(1952 I was told when I bought it) Take the starter off and the switch off, hook a pair of jumper cables to it -on battery to starter
switch contact, + on battery to starter housing. It should
spin very fast-it will start with a jerk, so hold onto
it firmly. If it does not spin take the inspection band off and see if the brushes are making contact with the cummutator. If they are lift them
off and let them spring back against and test again. If this doesnt work, take it to your local
auto electric shop and have them check it out.
If it does spin ok then you may have a bad cable or bad connection or a bad battery. you may also want to
try this test with another battery. A 12V battery
is ok. just dont let it spin more than a few seconds. That will tell you if your battery is ok.
This is all assuming you can turn the engine over with the crank. I have also seen tractors
jam the starter gear in the flywheel. If this is the
problem, taking the starter off will fix it. Hope this helps.
