That's it - I give up. Like the typical bloke that won't ask directions I have wasted some more of my rare time trying to work out where this darn red/yellow wire attaches to the starter. I had a qui

The only red/yellow wire I am aware of is in the gearbox harness and that is for the overdrive, however an oil-stained and aged white will look yellow. Do you have the earlier inertia starter with re

That sounds like it. Hey, it looks yellow but I guess could easily be white (no wonder the wiring diagrams didn't seem to match). With the red/"white" wire disconnected I get no response when I turn

If you have the pre-engaged starter with attached solenoid then it *should* be fairly obvious, that is if it hasn't snapped off flush with the plastic moulding. Here's hoping ...

What I know is that the separate terminal was not on the older starters (have to go off my old memory here). I know that when I bought my 71BGT, the original starter did not have this separate termin

Maybe you should just "bite the bullet" and buy a new solenoid? Then you'd know for sure what you were missing. Or perhaps this can be an excuse for you to upgrade to one of those high-torque replac

The trick is to use a long extension (longer than the starter body), or two 10" extensions. If it makes you feel any better, once you memorize the intricate sequence of moves, you can pull it strictl
