My starter is going clicky click Even when i short out the positive and the switching terminal on the starter it will still go 'click', additionally sometimes i can hear the starter whizz around but doesn't seem to engage? Usually it will wrok properly after 2 or 3 clicks depending on how cold it is Ideas to fix this? |

it sounds like it is the solenoid. I have never pulled a suzuki starter apart so i dont know if the soleniod is rebuildable. i would say pull it off and have a look see. my mates 80 series was doing the same thing and it was the contacts in the solenoid were worn. i welded some solder on the contact points and it was good as new. |

the starter motors on the suzukis are a completely different set up to the landcruiser starters. the contacts can not be replaced easily. and dominator you can buy the contacts in the landcruiser starter motors as a replacement part. they arent that expensive. i would suggest changing them them as solder is as hard wearing as what was original. try wiring up a starter relay. over time wiring gets resistance in it. causing a voltage drop. so the trigger wire wont be receiving battery voltage during crank. you will need a relay, some lengths of wiring and some crimp terminal if your not sure how to wire up the relay it is as followed pin 30 - to battery positive (i pick this up from the main feed to the starter motor) pin 85 - to the trigger wire on the starter motor pin 86 - to earth pin 87 - to the trigger on the starter motor (where the trigger wire was) i would be doing this first as it is an in expensive thing to do and works a treat. if it wasnt starting at all then i would suggest a starter motor |

I did think of the relay trick but because it still happens when i shorted the terminals I dont reckon it's going to help at all |

The trigger and the positive on the solenoid...effectively giving the trigger as much amperage it wanted |

well in that case i would either A- replace the starter and wire up a relay or B- get yours rebuilt and wire up a relay |

yeah solder was only a temporary fix for the weekend. have since replaced the contacts. I wasn't sure if the zook contacts could be accessed or nor. |

it can be done.. but you have to pull the solenoid apart. no where near as easy as the nippon-denso units that the cruiser has. i always replace it with a new solenoid |
