Re: Starter won't crank

The field windings were a bit nasty looking. I want to say that spot was just wet from electrical cleaner or greasy. There are bare spots on the field winding insulation where it looks like the armature may have made contact as you can see from the chips on the armature near the field poles. I had the battery checked at advance auto parts, and my cold cranking amps were way down, but everything else seemed to check out fine. So for now I am going to leave it on trickle for 24 hours and try one more time. If the same results occur I can point to the starter as the culprit.
