starter solenoid Sign In

Hi
Im new around here


When I turn the ign switch key I get a click , so what I find I have to do is rotate the main engine pulley and rotate some , then try to start, it could be twice or 3,4 tries but It always will start like this. What do you think the problem is ?
Thanks in advance Ran

Could be a bad starter. Could be a connection issue in the battery cables. Someone has to do some electrical testing to find out.

It may be just a coincidence and have no relationship or it's possible the solenoid is sticking in the flywheel and jarring the starter when it springs back.

Instead of turning the engine over, try tapping on the starter while somebody tries to start it and see what that does.
