I need to test the starter motor as it's condition is unknown, it was a "freebie" when i bought the gearbox.
As i don't have access to the haynes manual at the moment i was hoping someone could tell me where to power and jump to get the starter to engage?  |

Follow up question. I have a box of 3 starters of unknown condition I'll be testing sometime in the next year. They all worked when they came off the cars some 30 years ago. Are these things "GO NO-GO" or is there a way to decide which one is in the best condition.

I might be a little off base here, but I'd do the following: visual check> electrical check*> inspect the brushes *be careful due to the starting torque the starter could move too much ripping the wires off the leads and shorting. |
