Dirty South Truckin' Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 So I am working on a B for a new friend, he says she stopped running a few months back, but lucky it sounds like it is only a fuel filter problem.But first I must get her cranking over!We put new batteries in her last time, but today they only had a half charge.Tomorrow morning gonna try again with full batteries.It seams the rig has a 12V starter in her. Replaces the starter silinod, helped a lil bit it seams, but still no go.The switch thingy under the passenger seat has been removed.Here is my drawing of the starter and solenoid.Tomorrow I will hook the batteries up as they should be, then push the start button. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/123-truck-won%E2%80%99t-start-is-it-the-battery-or-starter-or/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean←Did you find the exact cause? I know I had our starter rebuilt due to never being cleaned. Seems that the starter is supposed to be taken apart regularly and cleaned out.
