Battery is fine, but when I try to start it, all I get is a solenoid click. Like maybe it's jammed? Car won't turn over. Push started the car just fine, drove around, parked it and tried to start it, but no dice. Just a click.
This is apparently a Renegage "factory" conversion, done in the mid 90s. What kind of starter is this? Some random dude once told me it is from a Mitsubishi diesel. Correct? Also, it looks like a separate solenoid on it? Is it replaceable? Can I take it off while the starter is on the car? How do I diagnose the problem? The starter itself seemed to be working strong, no problem, before today. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v520/bak535/Picture247.jpg) |

Hey C,
Yeah, you can see the circlips in the first and second pics. I pulled them out and tried banging on the crosses with an old socket as a drift, but no go. They are in pretty good. Hitting hard with the BFH, don't like to do it! A port-a-power would be good. I don't need to take them off right now, there's no problem. At some point, though, when I have a bit more time, I'd like to get them disconnected so I can drop the drivetrain for some housekeeping. Your help with the valves was appreciated! That was new to me. After seeing how it was done, I was able to redo them to get them right to the exact spot where this engine seems to like to be. Which is basically as loose as possible, while remaining quiet. Runs the smoothest and has the most power at that setting. Also gives the highest vacuum reading at idle at that setting. Hope everyone is having a great holiday! |
