I got pretty good at DELCO starters. Give me a few sick ones and I could build a couple working ones. I remember one where the solenoid wouldn't even click and it turned out the motor brushes were no longer making contact with the armature. Without that, the Solenoid couldn't find the ground it needed to pull in.
Then I got into Ford starters with a 460. Again, I pretty much could do the same thing. I just kept getting parts and building starters. The 460 starter used part of the field winding as solenoid, so no separate solenoid like a DELCO. I finally "built" my last Ford starter, with "BAD" painted on it. Armature had an open segment, Field was burned out, Drive was slipping. Took it to the scrap yard.
Did you put another DELCO style starter on it, or the new style, called
Permanent Magnet, or
High Torque, or
Gear Reduction?
I used to be doubtful about those, till I ran one for 15 years and 1500 hours on our Chevy boat engine. It even got wet twice and all I had to do was clean it up.
