Rebuilt my starter, now I suspect I also have a solenoid problem. I thought when these were faulty you would not get any action out of them. I hit the starter and the solenoid has a solid "click" to it but doesn't spin the starter. The rebuild on the starter is fine because it will spin when I bypass the solenoid. I have also stuck a voltmeter on all contacts from the battery to the solenoid to the starter and I get readings at every junction. I am not prolific with this electrical stuff and thought before I go and blow $80.00 on a new solenoid, figured I'd toss it out to the boys in case there is something simple I'm missing.
