Hey all,
So i tried starting her on thursday and nothing ( no cranking , just silence ). so i checked my battery volts had 12.3v. So pulled out my charger and hooked up to try it on engine start mode, and she fired up. Rechecked volts and had 13.5 - 14v while in idle. Checked temination on battery posts all tight.
So battery was a cheapo 7 plater but 6mnths old, thought maybe me battery wasnt big enough.
so today im at the shops and go to start to come home and nothing again.
So thought hey theres suppercheap ill buy a century heavy duty $150 banger. Put her in and nothing, so i parralell up new 1 as well as old 1 and nothing. i know the leads were inherited from some old bomb so i get me a set of good leads $45 and try again and nothing.
So $100 later the tow truck gets me home and i try with the engine start like before and nothing. I inspect the key contacks all clean as well as spare key and still nothing.
Is there a cyntrifical switch in the starter motor that maybe stuck or is it new starter?
N e ideas would be welcomed..
