Starter Motor not Engaging - Advice Please

[Ivor Hawkins]

Thanks for reporting back John, that is brilliant news and gives me some hope as I have had exactly the same problem, as you know.

As well as very carefully skimming the commutator, checking continuity like yourself, I even baked the armature for two hours at 100 degrees, but haven’t had a chance to test the starter yet because I am waiting for my heavy duty jump leads arrive.

I’ll ease off the retaining clip a tad and keep my fingers crossed and report back.

Well done!
