Stop in for a cup of coffee

Changed the starter. Found an engine to trans bolt not tight.
But hte problem must be in the solenoid or the wiring. I could here the solenoid click and voltage showed up on the starter terminal but maybe a lot of resistance. Just guessing.

Cleaned the terminals and got it running but don't trust the wires or the solenoid. Took it to the heated garage and traded it for the Barracuda. Deal with it next week. I did find a spare solenoid at the garage so that's good. Made in Tiawan - bought 5 years ago.,

Traded back to the Heep this afternoon.

Turns out I've kept using the solenoid that was there - made in the USA.
The winding from the start terminal to NSS measured 19 ohms. The new ones measured 3 ohms. H'mmm.

Noticed the new chinesium ones don't have cad plating and use coarse threads.

Transfered the tabs over after cleaning with a fiberglass 'pen' and some De-oxit.

Those pens are great.
