Does it tell me how to I adjust the metal price in side the starter solenoid
Al so I forgot to tell you this when the connected the battery’s they sparked and the starter turned I see if the master switch was on but it was off
I would read the TM to find out. One other question that I have. When you say that you get "sparks" while connecting your battery cables, are they high current sparks or low current sparks? Is the master control switch in the off position?
Yes it’s in the off position
Have you tried disconnecting the wires to the alternator? To the glow plugs? You may have a shorted alternator or a stuck glow plug relay.
How can I find the glow plug relay and the alternator also when I got the starter brand new I instead correctly and the batterys didn’t spark
Read and study intently the TM that I sent to you. These machines are designed very well, and the more that you get to know yours the easier it gets to troubleshoot things like you’re dealing with. I’m a little confused about your starter. So you have a new one that is causing the battery cables to spark? Or is that with your old one? It sounds like you’re going down a rabbit hole. I’ve been there, it’s no fun. Take things one step at a time. Starters can also be bench tested with a little knowledge. If you have a volt/ohm meter and know how to use it, it’s one of your most valuable tools for tracking down electrical issues. If all of this is above you, it’s ok. None of us know everything. Find a local friend who knows electrical stuff who’s willing to help. Again, I wish that I was closer. I would help.
It’s a new starter it’s not that starter it’s the style 2 starter
How do I put the starter solenoid back correctly look what I bought the starter brand new hasn’t been taken part off
Is there a way to fix the starter solenoid?
FWIW, the solenoid has two functions- engages the starter to the engine flywheel, but also controls current flow to the starter motor. There is a copper disc inside the solenoid that bridges a set of contacts when the coil is magnetized and the plunger is pulled in. I have seen these weld closed as well as burn up. Try disconnecting battery cable to solenoid, then check continuity between the two large terminals on the solenoid. Should be an open circuit when solenoid is not energized. If not, power is going to starter motor when it should not be.
