Hello I have a starter motor from a diesel engine. It wasnt working prooerly. so I stripped it down and cleaned it. But it still isnt working properly. If I cross the th solenoid spade connecter with the live terminal the solenoid kicks out the bendix gear but the motor dosnt spin. If I cross the two solenoid large terminals the moter spins.
Am I right in thinking the solenoid spade terminal goes to the live side of the battery via the starter botton. The sysrem is negative earth
