Re: starter motor...
Take it off and bench test it mate, if its making the whurr but not the solenoid clunk then id bet its the solenoid!!! You never know, sometimes just taking it off, powering it with jump leads, and putting it back on can get them working again

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

cheers chaps
Darrel have you got a diagram for "skinny" starter please? thanks in advance
No

I doubt if the internals are much different.
If the motor is spinning I have to assume the solenoid plunger is moving but possibly not moving the gear into the flywheel.
I have had one starter that just span but didn't turn the engine over and it was the one way clutch knackered. I couldn't buy a new one anywhere so ended up buying a recon unit.
