Started to do a compression check but it was around 2 am and I kept melting wires so I'll figure it out tomorrow..
Btw, does anyone know which wires go where to jump the starter?

Then take a prybar or something and jump the terminals on the starter... at least that trick works with most 'murican and japanese starters. Got a pic of your starter?

Ok I hooked power up the the red wire and the solid white wire. I had the body of the starter grounded and it spun while laying on the floor but when I bolted it up it wouldn't spin. Just the gear would engage

I found that I had to engage the bendix before hitting the motor solenoid for it to work. Could that be your issue?sigpic

I think I met you at Oktoberfest. Something about a motor mount...?
