new starter ordered

would any body recommend putting a jumper cable in to the starter motor feed bypassing the solenoid to make sure to motor works?

ok i got mine off eBay it came with a solar charger, what ground strap should i check? i cleaned all the terminations to deal with the starter. should i do any of the ones that deal with the engine?

my solenoid pulls in just fine. the input side i get 24=+ volts in the input from the battery, going to the starter i have 8 volts so there is a large amount of Resistance in side. are there serviceable contacts inside or is it a sealed unit that has to be replaced?

i went out and got a tester, the 500 Amp type, here are the results: left battery: 12.6 with tester off, 11 with tester on and it dropped to 400 amps. the right battery started at 12.6 volts dropped to 11 volts and 420 amps. I have Hawker HASP-FT batteries in it right now.

by the way it is a 1971 M35A2 if that helps

i have gone through the the manuals and isolated my problem down to the starter solenoid. in the input from the batteries i have 24 volts on the out pt to the starter motor its self i have 8 volts. i put test leads on the different points so i was not around the starter as i pushed the start...

Ok thanks that instill more confidence. Has any body dealt with the GL facility in Columbus Ohio?
