Re: starter trouble
Make sure you have good battery connections..I usually touch up my battery terminals and power cables with some very fine (220-400 grit Emory is best) paper if my starter clicks(poor electrical connection, tighten bolts.)..other than that..I am VERY weary off used starters and won't buy them.. over cranking can fry one quickly and without knowing the starters used history, well i assume them dead....with a little shopping around, A new starter can be found for 80-100$ on iboats or ebay and will eliminate the possibility of a bad starter. another note, your original post is unclear...we assume you are hooked up to a good battery anyway. anyway, sounds like a dead battery, battery connection or bad starter in that order. if all connections are sound and clean, battery is charged, and starter still clicks but turns over eventually=bad starter. If starter clicks..try tapping it to advance the solenoid in the brushes..if it turns over, you def. have a bad starter and it is an easy fix=new starter. electronics are not something to buy used IMO, especially something as crucial as a starter. shell out the $$ for a new one and piece of mind. hope this helps, report what you find.
