Ok here I am again. I just replaced the starter on my 79 75 HP Chrysler after finding out it had a broken magnet inside no to mention some other stuff. Now the engine turns over starts runs a second then shuts off. Couldn't get it to turnover and found the circuit breaker on the engine needed reset. Started engine again and watched the circuit breaker and as soon as it popped up the engine stopped. Anyone have any ideas? Is it the starter solenoid? I'm going out to clean all the connections and tighten them all to make sure they are good.
Ok went out and cleaned them all off and retightened (found one ground wire loose). Now I just turn the key to on and the circuit breaker pops. Now the only thing I've done prior to starter going out was connect the grey wire from the tach to the m terminal on the switch which had a small black wire attached to it already (btw the ground wire on the solenoid that was loose was a small black wire). At one time the tach worked prior to starter problems and the tach stays at 1000 even with power off and engine off, not sure if it's bad or not. Hope this might help.
