Jon ... when your solenoid clicks (not chatters) and the engine does not crank,
turn on your head lights and try again , if you still have a NO-CRANK again
tell me what the head lights do ... If the head lights do not go dim then you
have a starter problem .. if the armature has an open circuit on one
winding it will not crank when the brushes have stopped on that commutator
segment ...do this ... remove the cover on the END of the starter and turn the
armature 1/4 turn and try again , if it now cranks you have a faulty armature ,
the armature should have been tested on a tester called a growler ... Norman
