: I'm slightly desperate


Here is what the ole bently manual says about testing your starter:

1. Starter motor faulty. Test for voltage at field-winding connectiong strap with ignition at START. If at least 8 volts, repair or replace starter motor.

2. Solenoid switch faulty (less that 8 volts to starter motor).

3. Ignition switch faulty. Test for voltage at terminal 50 of solenoid switch with ignition switch at START. If not at least 8 volts test ignitions switch, if faulty replace....


Well here you go, and good luck!

Darin
