Starter Problem
I have owned my blazer 350/350 4wd since 1981 from the moment I got it it chewed up starters. twice I had to get flywheels put in it. The last time I had a flywheel put in it. The transmission shop said we will put a new gm starter on and fix your problem. For over 10yrs that starter worked great. It finally died. I went and got a rebuild from advanced. put the same shim in the tranny shop had on the old one. Nothing but problems. Shimmed it everyway you could think of. Order a High perforamnce mini. Now I get nothing it just clicks. Both starters will work on my other truck as does the battery. What is wrong. Ignition switch or a short. I don't really know where to look.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated |

Re: Starter Problem
Sounds like a ground.

Re: Starter Problem
First off, check to see if voltage is getting to the solenoid from the ignition switch. If it is, the problem is in thestarter or the way it is mounted.
As for mounting a starter, each and every starter has to be shimmed or not as they are different than the one before it. I use a big paperclip, which is about the right thickness as the right wire gauge to mount mine. I work the shims until I get the starter drive gear to engage into the flywheel with the wire gauge thickness of the paperclip between the teeth. I take the solenoid off an manually push the drive gear into the flywheel to get the engagement measurements.
