Doesn't mean the starter is bad
While at the Track last week
70 Dart-mini starter
failed to crank, to go to staging lanes
grabbed jumper cables > battery in trunk
finally got it to start.
won round
charged battery in pits
drove to the lanes for "quick eight"
waited to run
no crank again,
used a different set of cables
no crank
quit for the night.
finally got it started, load on trailer
So, today changed the starter
old school> gear reduction> known good..
click, click, no crank... LOL....
checked voltage at starter = 0.000000000000000 volts
cable end at relay had broken, only shrink wrap holding the end to the connector
replaced cable
all is good
ready to go back
