Anything special to testing m30 starters?

[Jean]

I've heard from someone who had a number of m30 starters tested by local autozone/kragen place come false negative.

What's the proper way to test these? I want to make sure mine is good before engine is in the car.

when bolted to the car, positive to east, ground to body, and jump south and east.

3 = positive
jump 4 to 3?

nothing with 1?

yup 4 to 3 and 2 = ground, nothing with 1

2 = ground

Not exactly.

Do not connect that terminal to ground, once the solenoid is engaged that terminal is +12, non fused.
