No crank. One click at solenoid then lights go out. Whacking the solenoid releases the solenoid and lights come back on. Attempt to crank again repeats the click and no lights. A whack resets it all.
Bench tested solenoid, checked OK. Engages and releases as expected.
Direct connected battery (+) to starter lead, got heavy sparks, no crank.
Either the starter is bad or the starter clutch is stuck engaged. This is my guess.
Any words of wisdom before pulling the LH engine cover and flywheel to get at the starter?
Been having other issues and the cranking has been plentiful lately.
Fun Fun in the cold!
