tap gently on the starter dont beat the mf'er up tho just gently while turning the motor over. if it starts then your starter is f'ed
either way its not too hard to replace

Originally posted by Vince30 View PostIf it was a re-manufactured starter, there is a chance that it went bad again, take it off and spin the motor by hand looking at the flywheel to make sure all your teeth are there. If its spinning the celenoid is doing its job.
and take it back to where you got it get a new one(throwing through store window is optional):hitler:
