I don’t think it is turning. I believe that’s his issue.take a video of it cranking I want to hear how fast its turning.

my second post I asked if he could hear it crankingI don’t think it is turning. I believe that’s his issue.
Doesn’t turn at all, starter just engages and whines if you hold the button. No smoke, starter doesn’t heat up at all.take a video of it cranking I want to hear how fast its turning.
It's sounding like a dud starter. You should see some voltage drop between the battery and the starter. If you have no drop, the starter either has open coils or the solenoid is not making a connection. There should be no measurable voltage drop across the large lugs on the solenoid when the starter is engaged.I have 1/0 gauge, nothing gets hot while cranking, no wires smoking. Starter will click after holding it the button for a while. The compression is no more than 10.5.1. I will check the voltage next, thanks.
I’ve been burned too many times by over complicating the situation lol. Had an old man at work teach me to start from the very basic, go in to every job and test it like you don’t know anything about the condition. When you “know” something is good, you start skipping steps.
ah I was wondering how the tob would cause this and SO confused yesterday.Bendix. Thank you. Duh, I said throw out bearing.
I was wondering if the bendix was weak and just not throwing it far enough.
My motor is also stroked, 427. PA claims the starter is made for high performance strokers. That’s a good one too. Would be crazy to put a Autozone starter on and it starts up, lol.Sent my PA Performance starter back. Probably was fine for a stock motor, but my motor is recently stroked, too (347). Went with a stock Motorcraft starter… works great!
Starter does spin and Bendix is moving correctly.Have you dropped the starter verified it's spinning,. And the Bendix is moving and make sure it's not free spinning on the motor shaft
I wish!LOL!!
Here we are all analizin' and such.
Watch him whack it with a mallet and it engage!
I would laugh so hard!!
Lol, with 1-7/8 long tubes on the motor, it’s a bit tight to get a hammer in there.have we tried anything simple like giving the starter a thump er two?
That’s what I was thinking too, the starter should get warm at least. I’m going to run a ground from the starter to the body and one from the motor to the battery see and what happens.It's sounding like a dud starter.

The starter should get warm if it is flowing the amps it should be. If it never even warms when holding the starter for a period of time, there's an opening in the circuit somewhere.
If you are finding the solenoid is not closing the circuit, it could be it is not able to fully engage the gear or simply is faulty.
