So, back in January the original starter on my M1009 locked up, or so I was told by my mechanic.
After them putting wrong starters on, etc, I finally ordered one myself (A new Nikko "OE" starter, made for 24V 6.2L) and had them put it on. It worked fine for a day. The next day, 60 miles from the shop I brought it to, the starter doesn't work. I just hear the solenoid clicking when I press the button. I took the starter back to place I got it to have them bench test it, and it worked fine. Bring it back, put it on, try hooking the batteries back up, and the starter starts spinning without pushing out the bendix. Turns out, I let the big wire going to starter touch another terminal on the starter when I put it back on, and I fixed this, but at least then I knew that the starter and batteries do actually work.
So I fixed the cable, and now I just have solenoid clicking again.
As I said, the starter is new, the batteries are from January, and a new flywheel was supposed to have been put on.
Any ideas about what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
