As I say unless I have missed something in this thread , then if you get 12v at the small cable on the solenoid and cross the power to the larger cables connecting the starter and the car starts, the solenoid just needs a clean. |

It’s the small feed wire to the top of the solenoid, this is energised on ignition only. Put ignition on get good access to your starter , and with a suitable screwdriver cross the feed wire with the large starter feed and it should start indicating the solenoid has been stuck.

So how do you test the crank feed that only comes on when you turn the key to crank ? |

Probe for 12v at the solenoid on the main feed from the battery |

Basically you are completing a circuit while key is on crank, so by crossing the larger terminal with 12v energised from ignition and the solenoid doesn’t throw the starter into life then you have a stuck solenoid , try tapping the solenoid while doing this and if that energises its then it’s a sticky solenoid. |

I think he starts ok when he crosses the feed over so would that mean the crank feed isn’t getting to the solenoid? |

No if your able to start the car by crossing the solenoid, then it’s the solenoid at fault. Have you tried it |

I believe he has and it started, can't remember now without going back, but i also think he tried replacing the solenoid and it still wouldn't start. So if the crank feed was at fault you are saying it wouldn't start when you crossed from the live to the other connection?

Not good with diagrams , but started many a tractor by crossing the 12v signal wire with the larger 12v from battery .

One of those tractors must have been a Massey Ferguson 35 or maybe a 135, I was driving a 35 yesterday and love it.

Unfortunately diagnostics , won’t tell you this problem it’s purely mechanical, needs to try again. |

agreed, diagnostics sometimes take me down a false path anyway |

Haha How did you guess I was trained on them , always been them till this day, ... still have a 6170. Just putting my L322 back on the road after 3 moths of problem solving ...abs , probably seen the thread , looking forward to Monday , I think! |
