She’s alive!! I ordered new starter bolts last week and they finally came in today. I installed it with one shim and tried to crank it over only to be let down because it did the same thing. I removed it again and placed two more shims in it and gave that a try. Annnddddd boom nice crisp starter...

Awesome thanks so much for the help. I’ll pick up the shims and let you know when she’s rolling down the road again! Also one more question I had is where can I get new bolts for my starter. I used the old ones and after some reading I found out they’re a one time use kind of thing

Okay so I just removed the starter but left it hooked up. Had a buddy crank the key over to start and then let the key return to its resting position and boom no starter run on. This is telling me the whole electrical starting circuit is correct. Am I right in thinking this way? I’m thinking the...

Quick question while I’m trouble shooting. Is this dog head relay mod supposed to have 24v coming to it through the red wire?

Okay I’ll check when I get home from work. So should I remove the bell housing plate on the bottom to view the ring gear and flex plate together? I’m still confused as to what’s causing this thing to run on until I turn the key to the off position. It has me baffled

Thank you for the advice. I’ll check these things tomorrow after work and report back

It seems to be very crisp, however I do not know what a bad one feels like. I’m wondering if the spacing on the fly wheel to the ring gear in the starter isn’t correct causing the starter to not disengage but I’m not sure if that’s even a possibility. When I try starting it and it continues to...

okay guys im at a total loss here so any suggestions or help are greatly appreciated. so my starter relay stuck causing a huge meltdown in my m1009. I replaced all fried fuse links, installed a new 24V starter, and I did the doghead relay mod. put a full charge on my batteries turned the key...

Thanks for the help guys I’ve got a new one ordered through a shop here in my town. It’s supposed to be here tomorrow so I’ll get it thrown on and let you all know if it fixes my problem!

Okay so today after work I came home and did some more trouble shooting. First I took out my meter and set it to continuity and put one lead to the big lug on the starter solenoid and the other lead to the frame and it rang out showing there was continuity between the two and I’m guessing there...

Okay thanks for the help man!

thanks barrman for the tip on the TM's I will definitely be checking those out tonight. v12venator... I did the dog head relay mod exactly to what was explained in the post the part number on the relay I used was 7018601. now onto the ignition switch being possibly bad if I turn the key over to...

After rereading your reply I think the solenoid on the starter is my problem. Can just that be replaced? If so would you happen to know the part number for it Or where I could find it?

Can this be intermittent? I took the power lead off the starter and the buss bar on the firewall and then attached a jumper cable to the starter and then to the buss bar. That went ok no sparks, no melting. I then tried starting it again and once again the starter ran away on me so I yanked the...
