Hi, If the soleonid moves but motor does not turn it may well be the
solenoid itself, assuming all high amperage connexions are clean and tight .
When this happens and a screwdriver between the 2 + posts make it work then it
is the connexion between the 2 posts inside the solenoid.

As stated earlier, corrosion is our enemy. You state that you usually need
to turn the key a couple of times - not familiar with your model, mine has a
key that simply turns on the ignition circuit and a push button that
energizes the starter solenoid. Yanmar keys are very poor pieces of
I had the same problem about 5 years ago!
After 40 or so years, it’s usually corrosion on terminals or untined original
wiring!
Check and clean the ground connection (usually on one of the transmission
casing bolts on the back of the gearbox).
After all these years, it may be prudent to change
I agree, clean the terminals first, it’s worked for me on cars a couple times.
A lot easier than replacing starter motors if it works.

Usually corrosion is the culprit. Clean the terminals on the starter wires.

thanks for the kind suggestions.
the engine is a universal 3 cylinder diesel. I will see if I can at least
take a look at the wires.

Is it a Yanmar? If so, try running a temporary dedicated wire from the "I"
connection on the ignition switch or the positive side of the starter
button to the solenoid. If it starts strongly, make the wire permanent
bypassing the harness near the engine.

Hitting electric motors often results in broken magnets inside the motor
and then more problems.
I would pull the starter and have it bench tested. Likely you will find
some crunchy/corroded wiring in the process.

Get a second person to help. While they are attempting to start, you can
be down below giving the starter a love tap with a heavy implement. If it
starts then you probably need to rebuild the starter.

Hi everyone,
I usually have to turn the key a few times for the starter to actually
rotate. I can hear the solenoid clicking even when the starter does not
turn.
Would this indicate it is just a wire or connector issue? Or a starter
issue? Or if further investigation needed, what should be
Are your there starter switches momentary switches that are all attached to the
same relay for starting and stopping?

No reason why it won’t work. In our motor home, we have 3 start/run/stop
switches for the generator. 1 on the dash, 1 on the kitchen range hood and 1
on the generator. No problems starting from one position and stopping from
another.

Sometimes it is desirable to be able to have a starter switch inside when
working on my motor.
How have people on this list accomplished this? Is it a temporary or permanent
solution
If the terminals on your starter solenoid are easily accessible a hand held
switch like this with a couple of alligator clips and a few feet of wire
would work well.

Glad to hear it Francois. I ordered a switch and will hopefully have it by next
week. In the meantime, this weekend I will take the advice of the others and
will clean all connectors, check engine ground, and solenoid this weekend.

It was either the press-fit connector ( it was pretty corroded / fell apart
when I disconnected it) , the push button switch, or both. I installed the

What is the most efficient way of debugging this problem? Should I start up at
the push button switch or at the solenoid?

Mike,
I had this issue on the Enterprise-A (1978 CC 34) once. It was the solenoid.
All the best,

Hi Mike,
This happens to me a few times each year. I will
try to start with the switch up to 3 times before
I go looking. Most times it starts on the second
or third attempt. FTC (failure to crank) is most
often resolved by wiggling the connections on the
fuse at the back of the head. A
seem to ship to Georgia. He has good
prices and a good selection too. He's in Kingston.
I hope that does the trick.

Start first at the switch. Test for power across the terminals with the
button pushed. If no voltage is seen on the 1st push, it is likely the
contacts within the switch are dirty. You can sometimes temporarily clean
Everything everyone else said is good.
My 2 cents: sometimes a tiny break in a wire or contact will prevent
current from flowing, but after a few seconds of power the wire heats up
from the resistance and expands enough to close the circuit. Wire does
get old.
