It turns by hand, but its tight, guess i might need to pull it out and recheck torque settings.
It's fired up a couple of times, but never idled properly. So i rejetted my weber, and whilst doing that realised i had a few manifold leaks. Fixed them, and thats when it started having issues with the starter.
Already tried cranking with jumper cables from a running car, same deal, starter engages flywheel, but wont turn motor.
more info on the earths from starter motor?
I'm running a starter relay, which has a decent, not huge, but decent earth, but the only wires coming off the starter itself are the switch and the power. Do i want a dedicated earth on the starter itself? if so, where does it hook up? i was under the impression the starter earthed directly onto the block when its bolted on?
