I bought this starter off ebay. I bolted it to my trans and would like to see if it turns my SBC 350 over. How do I jump it? I don't want to start the engine. I just want to make sure it engages the flywheel and cranks the engine. I connected jumper cables to my car battery and connected the hot lead to the top of the starter under that black boot and touched steel with the neg lead. It spun the starter gear but didn't extend it. I connected a wire to the spade terminal under the starter and touched that with the hot lead and the neg to ground and it extended the gear but wouldn't spin it. I jumped the spade terminal on the starter to the ground I was using and touched both with the hot lead and it just spun, wouldn't engage. Any thoughts?

Here is the Ebay link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...atchlink:top:en It seems to be a solid unit and a very good fit although I haven't tested it yet. |

[/quote] I was just curious, I got by with a 914 starter on my renegade conversion for years, it seemed to have enough torque for the 9:1 compression V8 but eventually started skipping teeth because the bearing in the end was not up to the task of 4 impulses per revolution. Perhaps the high torque gets past that, but it was all about bearing size. I ended up having to change out the ring gear and went with a reverse rotation Chevy unit from Kennedy. |
