8v92 will not crank update-bad starter??? - Scott Forman - 04-20-2008 07:39
My day of troubleshooting tells me that I have a bad starter. When the
starter is engaged by the key, the solenoids click and the starter
itself makes a loud click but does not turn. The same starter click
happens when jumping across the solenoid. I can turn the crankshaft
with a wrench, so it's not locked up (thank God). The starter has not
exactly been what I would call 'strong' for the year I have owned the
coach anyway, and it looks plenty old, so I am thinking it just gave up
the ghost.
Agree/disagree?

Scott: Try clamping a heavy jumper cable from the starter housing to
a good battery ground...easy to do and is an additional way to rule
out have a bad ground.
