The engine is not in a car the starter mounted on the engine or out of the engine does not matter the starter spins with no problem but the Bendix drive will not go out. The battery is new with shiny cable posts the ground cable hooked to the engine with the starter mounted to the engine and the positive cable hooked to the starter switch at the top of the starter pushing on the switch is one way I tried it. The other way is the starter removed from the engine with the ground hooked to the starter and the positive cable hooked to the starter switch at the top of the starter pushing on the switch both ways the starter spins fast. Could the length of the jumper cables be a problem also the cables are 20 feet long I just had that thought as I was typing this out???????? I don't want to buy a rebuilt starter for $235.00 and find out I still have the same problem.
