Will tighten alternator when I can get to it.
Was Diesel 911's suggestion the same as shorting #2 & #3 together? This produced sparks but no rotation.
Shorting #2 & #1 always gets it started for me.
If I understand it, and I may not. #2 to #3 puts battery (+) right on the starter.
And #2 & #1 puts battery (+) right on the solenoid.
Thanks for the responses

Shorting #1 and #2 is the same as using a Jumper Wire from the Batter to #1. If the Starter always works like that I would be thinking that you have some problem where the Circuit going from the Solenoid to the Ignition Switch is not getting Electricty to the Solenoid or there is some resistance restricting the current flow in that circuit.
I numberd the pic the same as the other pic there is no #1 because you cannot see that in the Pic.
When the Solenoid pulls back the Plate bridges #1 and #2 contacts connecting the Battery to the part of the Starter that rotates the Starter.
Over time it is not uncommon for the Contacts to burn.
