    Thank you, This was an excellent video, that got straight to the point of exactly all the ways to test my starter/solenoid and know if it's bad or not without a bunch of unnecessary time wasting extra content. I salute you sir! Keep up the great content!

    Thanks your video saved my butt getting my Kubota running after a snow storm and I tried several things over a couple hours. Watched this and with a screw driver jumped positive to ignition paddle on solenoid- starter kicked in. Used key for glow plugs and did it again - tractor started right up. This tells me ignition not sending enough volts to starter. BUT I can simply install a momentary push switch to solve the issue. Thanks again

    I agree with all the commenters who commend you for not including a bunch of fluff and getting right to the point. I hate the videos of people who love to hear themselves talk and and who use stupid exaggerated gestures and corny intros. My time is valuable. Your video was very informative. It made perfect sense. Going to test my tractor starter tomorrow.

    Connected the positive cable to the positive battery terminal and then to the ignition part of the starter, then I connected the negative to the body of the starter; when I connected to the negative terminal of the battery it kinda sparked and left a mark on the terminal...and the pinion moved forward and did a slow rotate thing...I'm confused ayy

    The starter sticks on my boat and when it does kick in it barely turns the motor over with the plugs out even. I hate myself because its on the bottom and im going to get really drunk now. Thanks for the video when i get up with a shitty hangover i will be able to test it but i know already its bad.

    Hi, i want to test the solenoid of the starter motor without to dismounting it from the car, can i do this whitout making damage? obviously i disconnect battery from the car before. Thanks. When you are writing that the internal contact of solenoid is bad in the video instead i think it's only the tester probe that doesn't make contact with metal of the bolt, it is covered of dirt.

      Late reply but in case future viewers have this question, the "spade" mentioned is just a small tab of metal that a cable (from the ignition) connects to.

    i did all these tests and the starter was still defective, it would push out and spin but with NO load, once you put the engine load on it, it would not crank the motor.

    Hi, where could be a problem, if starter rotates, but pinion doesn't push out? Starter is new. I changed it, because of this problem. It hapenned on my last ride before winter time. When I was running on highway, engine stall suddenly. So I glided to the highway exit and put cas aside and tried to start engine, but it didn't. Only starter was moving. We towed to my garage and there I noticed, that starter didn't move with crankshaft. I tried to change starter relay, but it didn't help.

      no. Tab is just turn run current through the electromagnet coil of the relay. Relays works same way no meter the polarity.

  • @farerse
    @farerse 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    can the issue also be that it spins but does not move forward ?

    • @TomsTenorHorn
      @TomsTenorHorn 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Farerse ... not really possible unless you have the heavy wire from your battery or alternator connected to the wrong terminal on your starter ... it acts as a relay switch ... when the solenoid is energised via the ignition it pulls a piston inwards (pivoting the gear forward) and a circuit is made within the solenoid housing allowing the current to flow from the heavy wire on the solenoid case across to the other heavy wire that feeds the starter motor ... when you release the ignition the solenoid is de-energised and a spring pushes the piston forward breaking the feed to the starter motor and pivots the gear back in.
