Re: How to Bench Test a Starter?

Thanks Guscha, HH and clipper47. I'll remove the starter and try your test suggestions. Earlier, I had disassembled the starter for cleaning and lubrication. There was no wear, just 20-odd years of oil and dirt accumulation. I tried the starter for the first time yesterday. It will turn the engine, but does not seem to be engaging the drive completely into the flywheel. I think I got the drive fork reversed. It has a slight offset and I probably guessed wrong. I want to check the operation of the starter to see if it is fully deploying the drive before disassembling it again. I'll let you know what I find.
