stuck starter? help needed. 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be Erik on  Sat Feb 26 13:56 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The 544 has been sitting for two months waiting for new drums (and time to install). Completed that part, charged the battery and nothing happened. Checked all wires and fuses, everything looked exactly as before when it worked daily without problems. put in a different battery to double check, still nothing. volt meter records a full batter and full 13.5 volts at the starter. the starter does not even click, when the key is held in start position for a while the dash lights dim, and volts drop a little. I was able to push start the car on the first try thinking something got frozen in the starter. let it warm up for 30 minutes. Again it would not start, not even a click. Any suggestions before I invest in a not so cheap new bosch starter?

Thanks.,
-Erik
