I got the battery tested and its in the green. I took off the starter to see if the engine was seized. The crankshaft pulley turned 360 degrees with no stops. So unless the issue is further internal then its not seized…but then i turn to the starter. Did a bump test and nothing. I connected it to the battery and… nothing. No spinning. No buzzing, nothing… so it was the starter the entire time which i am thankful for. But i gotta get about $100 more to afford one. So im stuck until then lol

    P.s. that half crank that i mentioned, which made me think that maybe it wasnt the starter, could happen if enough volt was on it. I had the battery connected to a booster/jumper which could have made it try to turn over. However, it was a false positive. The starter is dead lol

    If you’re hard stuck because you need a starter, you might pull it apart a bit, carefully and within your abilities, to see if anything obvious is wrong that can be corrected. Might get luck and a good cleaning/sanding of the brushes could get you by for a bit.

    For what its worth… finding parts is the hardest part about rebuilding a starter.
