Fellows, here is a real puzzle. Tried starting my BJ8 a couple of weeks ago
and after cranking several times, the starter quit working. The solenoid
would click but the starter would not turn over. Removed the starter and took
it to a rebuilder and after inspection and cleaning was told the starter was
OK. Reinstalled it and cranked it a few times when it happened again.
Solenoid worked but the starter refused to turn. Thought maybe the solenoid
was
bad so I shorted between the outside solenoid poles and sparks flew. It is
though the starter is shorted or something. Question is if the solenoid is
bad, why would the reinstalled starter work for a while then stop? What would
cause the starter to turn over for a while then refuse to turn and act as if
there is a short? I am really frustrated and sure could use your advice.
Thanks in advance.
Jon
