Hi im looking for a bit of advice on a weird starter motor problem.
The motor has been sitting in my garage for about six months and the one on the car is knackered so I decided to rebuild the spare one. When I benchtest it it's got plenty of power and the solenoid kicks the gear out with a lot of force.
When it's fitted to the car the motor just spinds but don't turn the engine.
Any ideas what would be at fault inside the starter motor
 
clutch ion starter may be knackered,years ago it might have been a symptom of worn ring gear on the flywheel but ive rarely seen it to that extent
 
Have you put a jump lead from the battery negative to one of the starter mounting bolts? The earths go from battery to chassis, then chassis to bellhousing/engine bolts. I put an extra earth from battery straight to the engine.
 
Yer tried that gratch. Like James said looks like I need a new one. I like driving through deep water. Is there a water proof one I can buy
