Can I try the starter without it installed,is there a way? Can I test the solenoid?

 

[doghead]

yes, and yes.

Here's a source for new. http://www.texasindustrialelectric.com/starter_solenoids.asp

You need to properly adjust the throw on the solenoid.

I lost all my TMs on my computer, but there is a starter TM that explains all of this.

I suggest you take it to a professional shop for repair.

This is why Doghead wanted you to turn the engine over by hand, to see if there was a mechanical interference somewhere in the power train. Glad to hear that you got it all sorted out. We live & learn, this forum & its members are a great asset to the hobby.

You did use the correct flywheel bolts right ? You cannot just use any old bolt here. First off they need to be grade '8' and second they need to have a shoulder to engage the flywheel so it does not loosen. If you used the correct bolts then it would not have had any contact with the housing.

Please try to explain what bolt you are talking about, I don't understand your post.

Bell housing bolts not fly wheel bolts. Those bolts are brand new from were that LDS was rebuilt.The bellhousing I used a longer bolt to help line up on bottom.I am sorry for the confusion just been running ragged working on my truck.

That is the correct shop if you or any other people in the area need starter or alternator work reliably done for a fair price.

Maybe here? http://listings.allpages.com/fl-0008210321-ocala.html
