Used starters?? If so get a new one. They have lifetime warranty!!

Check the connection to see it really is good?Is your battery fully charged?You bench test the starter?

Re: redid the whole thing. new problem
 

someone told me but i cant remember, how do you bench test a starter. :S

lol wow, you did i motor swap your self? ef starters have two terminals, big one= battery little one, male connnector i think=ign. trigger and it is grounded through the engine block, take a know working car battery and a screw driver and a pair of jumper cables

ahahur battery is prob dead

Re: redid the whole thing. new problem
 

the battery is fine. give me some credit. and yes i know how to hook up a battery to a starter . i thought that maybe there was a better way to test a starter.

Re: redid the whole thing. new problem
 

I just grab some jumpers and hook up power and ground and then jump power from the blade contact to the main power terminal.Use a good size jumper cable for power the starter draws quite a bit.I would go through and double check grounds etc it is easy to miss something like the tranny ground on the front that grounds the tranny case and the starter as it is grounded by bolting it down.Be patiient I know it gets frustrating but you will get there.

Re: redid the whole thing. new problem
 

you are 100% right. i forgot to regroungf the starter and transmission. when i relocated the battery to the rear i forgot to rewire that ground. now what and where do i run this ground wire. thanks .

Re: redid the whole thing. new problem
 

I would make a decent size ground wire and run it from the tranny to the frame[sand down to metal] and you really can add as many grounds as you like it never hurts to have extra.Normally the tranny ground attaches to the bracket on the front of the transmission.Just make sure you get good clean contact metal to metal and I usually take some emery clothe or similar and sand the paint off till it is bare metal.
