further to previous post on my unfortunate first day out ..... (see
http://www.ybw.com/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/768474/an/0/page/4#768474), I've removed the starter motor for checking/refurbishment, and taken some photos. Just thought I'd post them here in case anyone might spot any clues from the photos. Was this a wiring issue, or a problem in the starter motor/solenoid?
While I'm no expert, I couldnt see much problem in the wiring other than the wire connected down near the filter was not well connected - the screw on the terminal was very loose, and in the phot using the mirror, the blue wire going to the engine panel was very close to the positive output from the alternator, and the battery cable - although I couldnt actually see if there was any contact made here.
Does anyone know engine wiring well enough to hypothesise if either of these could cause the starter motor/solenoid to burn?
I looked at the wiring at the other end at the engine panel, and nothing seems to be amiss other than some green/corroded terminals.
