just carried out an engine change to find out y replacement starter just clicked when i turned the ignition on. ON investigating i observed that the solenoid popped the gear out but the actual motor was not whirring up... the solenoid is not seized.

i tested another starter and the same outcome... a click as only the solenoid gear popped out.. again no whir....

anyone have any ideas... ??? Smile cheers in advance gibbo

do you mean you tested the starters with them not bolted to the engine?

Or they were bolted to the engine and it was clicking but not turning the engine over?
