doesn't sound like the soleniods working on the fitted test?

Sounds like exactly what you described. Whats causing it though?

Have you tried jiggling the gearbox about to try move the adapter plate a bit?

Maybe it is stubbing its nose against the flat face of the flywheel?

Yeah its a hard one... Dont think the gearbox is as the other starter motor has been working fine it was just the sj has been sitting around for a while hmm

Sounds a bit rough on the bench test, if you gently clamp a flathead screw driver to the motor as if to replicate the flywheel teeth when it fires out. if its gripping it should spit the screw driver off.

Sounds to me like there's either something stopping it coming out or the gear is meshing with the flywheel but staying still while the motor spins up.

It sounds alot better then the old one trust me!!. its strange ive just slackend of the two bolts so you could phiscally pull the the starter motor around and it still makes the same noises

I reckon is the second one saying the fly wheel is staying still but i can turn the hole engine over by hand..

Hows the flywheel?

Ring gear ok?

Just about to look now.

Marked the fly wheel with tipex did one full turn and all seems fine no damaged teeth etc.

Well aint I a dosey twonk.
