Excellent knowledge as usual. Thanks

Connect the jumper to the main feed to the starter,missing out the solinoid this should turn the starter. If that works it’s the solinoid that need pulling apart & freeing up. Chances are something has seized together after the swim.

Jumper earth to mounting flange, jumper positive to the solenoid nut furthest away from the starter body. Spade terminal with a length of wire to the spade on the solenoid. Touch that wire to the positive jump lead clamp to spin the starter. No...

Engine is rebuilt after my, ahem, clever driving through a river plan I think my starter motor is toast. I’ve checked it my connecting it to a car battery with jump leads then used a power supply to the solenoid. The solenoid clicks and the...
