Crispen Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hey team, about a week ago i went to start the bad girl up but all i got was a click click coming from my solenoid(everything had been running sweet ). First thought was fuck... so went out and got a new solenoid, chucked it on and just got the same issue. My brother said my brushes are probably stuffed, so took the Lucas m35j down to my local man and got him to chuck some new brushes in. got home put it back in and bam away she went!!.... for a day. Took it for a drive and came back home, then went to start again and it cranked like it had a flat battery (brand new battery with plenty of CCA's) but eventually started. each time after that it cranked slow so i double checked all connections going from solenoid to starter to battery but nothing helped. Went to start her up this morning and im back to the click click... so im guessing what we thought was fixed obviously isnt? Any ideas out there??? -Got a brand new pinion put on about a month ago Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Take your starter out and bench test it . See if you can slow it down with a stick while it is running . I had a something much the same turned out to be a lazy starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If the starter checks out fine on the bench replace the power cable and engine earth Have seen the corrode from the inside out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
