5KCSTQ Starter problems
QList-
Seems like there is trend happening here. The starter on my '87 5KCSTQ
failed on me. Turn the key and get _nada_, not a click ir a wirl.
The battery is fully charged, and the car will start right up when it
is bump started. With the ignition either on or off, I'm only getting
~1v at the jumper terminal. Nothing at the starter. Hmm.
Decided to pull the starter anyway and bench test it. Bently doessn't
say much on removing the starter, but it looked straight forward.
I removed the electrical connections with no problem and then removed
the lower (visable) starter bolt with a 19mm socket. Felt around with
my fingers and found, what I assume, is the upper starter bolt. The
upper comes through from the tranny side and threads into he start
housing, or so I thought. Got that bolt off, but the starter is still
solid. It won't bundge. I tried tapping ot off with a hammar, prying
it off with a screwdriver, serched for another mounting bolt, but the
starter will not move.
Any ideas? Any idea why I'm only getting 1v at the jumper terminal?
Any and all help would be appriciated!!! I want my Q back.
TIA,
