I'm completely stuck.
I replaced my starter solenoid and rebuilt my starter motor with new brushes and completely cleaned it top to bottom.
I had it spinning, but oddly enough, spinning backwards. I'm not just saying this because the bendix wouldn't pop up but because I tied a zip tie to the center to determine the direction and it was turning clock wise not counter clock wise.
Eventually I no longer got a click from the solenoid and the starter motor stopped doing anything.
I removed the starter motor and opened it up. Everything looked fine. Wires and brushes still look perfect. I hooked up my car battery to the main lead and nothing... I opened it up again and it looks fine. I hooked it up and tested to see if I was getting 12 volts to the bolt, not just the jumper cables and I was. I opened it up, hooked it up, and was also getting 12 volts to each brush connected to the bolt.
I am hitting my head against the wall here. If the brushes, wires, and connects of the starter are fine, what else could even go wrong?
