23-45 starter question

[budd28]

I drove my car on Friday, and now when I engage the starter I get nothing. It also has the plunger all the way out . Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Budd

Not much to go on. 

 

A guess would be to check that the starter brushes are both making contact and that the commutator is clean and bright

There has been a lot of discussion on these starter/generators in the past on this forum.  Go back over previous topics.  But as Brian said,  to start with check the brushes.  Remove the cover on the back of the s/g,   get somebody to stomp on the starter pedal and check that the generator brushes are disengaging and the starter brushes are engaging.  Also ensure the battery is fully charges and all the connections are tight including the earth/ground.

First check that you have 6volt cables and firmly stomp on the starter pedal to be sure it makes good contact..

Thanks everyone I found the issue after looking it was a ground problem. Problem solved now back on the road
