[Fot] Starter Question

[robertten1 at aol.com]

Hello all,


So I was going to take the race car for a spin around the neighborhood yesterday but the car would not start.  I knew the battery was low so I had it on the charger for a couple hours before hand but all I got was a click of the solenoid.  Cleaned the battery terminals checked, wiggled and tightened all connections of concern and .... click.


Today I read it takes 10 hours on a 10 amp charger to get my red top gel cell battery to full charge, from the manufacturer web site.  Hmmmm never heard of that before.


So back to starting again, I tried the jump start mode on the charger and ... click.  I tried a jumper direct to the starter and ... nothing ????


So my question is has anyone run into problems with these hi-torque gear starters and if so what was the cure?  Please be it not to replace with another unit.  This one is only a couple years old.


Happy holidays,
Bob T
