Got the starter off today after a lot of swearing, striped the solenoid , the lining inside the solenoid was corroded, cleaned it up and put it all back together, tested it off the vehicle and it worked fine for 3 or 4 times then gave up again :( .
Now if i put voltage across the motor it won't spin :roll:
The box at the front is fine, there is a bit of wear on the brushes but nothing beyond normal wear and tare and the armature looks ok, cant find any reason why it shouldn't work.
Put it all back together and still doesn't want to play.
Ordered a new one from Paddocks this afternoon. More expense :(
