Stater

[george123]

Hello did a clutch on my Sammy and when I put it all back together I put the starter on and it sounds like the starter is really struggling to turn the engine over can someone one show me a picture of what wires go where on the starter thanks!

you just have the 12 volts on the two main bolt connectors, and a switched 12 volt on the solenoid to engage it. you tried to pull start it to make sure it is the starter, and there's not anything else wrong with the engine? just a thought

[george123]

Naa there's nothing wrong with the engine because it was running sweet before the clutch change would a fucked battery cause it

[george123]

It also sounds really grindy

You did remember to put the earth back on one of the starter bolts

[george123]

Yeah cuz you can see the engine turning over haha but it just sounds really strained and it was fine before hand

[gp7186]

Try loosening the starter motor mount bolts and pulling the starter away from the engine block. It sounds like its a bit tight in mesh with the flywheel making it tight to turn

[george123]

Okay il try that would a knackered battery cause it aswell

[Edweird]

Yes, but changing your clutch wouldn't bugger the battery.
