Starter motor part 3

I greased all the moving parts

and cleaned the coils and coil plate.

I had to recuperate 4 good coil springs of a big angle

grinder to replace these deteriorated original ones.

Quite a lot of dirt.

The coils are back in to place.

I reinstalled the starter motor and the engine

run at first click.

Cut off the engine and tried again and what did

you think; No movement under the bonnet so

I had the starter out of the car again stripped

and cleaned it and tried again.

Same story. In the end I found the fault; it was

a bad connection between starter motor and

battery cable which resulted in to low power to

activate the starter.

What would have been a 30 minutes job became

half a day of work but luckily the starter engine is

very well accessible and all works well now.
