I tried starting my Cockshutt 540 yesterday and only the solenoid would click, no starter sound. I changed batteries and same result. All connections are clean and re-cleaned; same thing. So I pulled the starter and hooked up battery cables to it and onto a good battery. First touch to good battery produced the same result, no sound, no movement. I then tried a second touch onto the good battery + post, same result. Third touch and the starter whirred as it should!! I re-installed the started and is now working as it should.
So what does that tell me about that starter? It seems to have a dead spot, but how does such a spot develop?
