Hi Guys,
I think I may already know the answer to this, but I'm having some intermittent issues with my starter (126 swap).
Essentially it seems to pick and choose when it wants to engage the flywheel. Sometimes it just spins without engaging, other times it works perfectly.
I've been looking at threads and they suggested to check the wiring, which I did and everything seems fine visually. That said, I haven't hooked up a multi-meter and am unsure of what I should be seeing for power, switch, and ground read outs (any help here would be appreciated).
The other thing I've seen suggested is to swap out the brushes and solenoid. I inspected, cleaned and greased everything in the starter after dismantling about a year ago, so I think the brushes should be okay (they had plenty of meat on them at the time) and I doubt they would be impacting the engaging mechanism anyway. Has anyone had a solenoid that just decided to work only half the time?
As always, any insights are appreciated, thank you!
