Engine wont turn
#1
Heres the story. This particular was rebuilt about a year ago. It was lubed with generous amounts of vaseline. The Engine will turn by hand and the starter was bench tested and proven to work. It even kicks out and trys to turn the engine when the key is turned. All electrical items work bar none. Do you guys think a rolling start would get it going or perhaps some type of solvent applied and then hand turned so it lesses the resistence to the starter? I am just trying to figure out if I have to take this thing apart again. Thoughts?

im sure you already checked but..... is your battery and cables up to snuff? sounds like the starter may not be getting enough power. does the engine turn over by hand easy? or is it really hard to turn? did you turn it over by hand a full revolution? something could be jamming it

yes. it sounds as if your starter just doesnt have enough ***** to turn the engine over. freewheeling it on the bench is not really a accurate test.
