1987 wheel horse 212-6 won't start

[Cmyers3843 1]

I have a 1987 wheel horse 212-6 model number 3212k601. I put a new starter on it because the old ones bushings were bad. The old starter u turn the key and get a click every time and eventually u turn the key and the starter would activate. I put the new starter on and now it only clicks.any ideas

Here is a wiring diagram.

What is clicking? Solenoid?

   With any electrical problem the first step is to inspect, clean and tighten all connections including grounds. Following this you can take a jumper cable from the battery "+" directly to the starter terminal to be sure the starter will turn. Next take a small jumper from the battery "+" to the small terminal on the solenoid to see if it closes.

My 111-6 would just click a lot then finally roll over and start.

 

Replaced the solenoid and it is now good.

 Join the 200 series clicking issue club. I've had a 212 for years and replaced all electrical items and still clicks a few times before starting.

Take your battery and have it tested, see if it is in good shape.

I let it sit for a bit and the starter moved a tiny bit. I'm going to try and jump the battery to see if it's has low volts does anyone have pictures of the starters wires hooked up to the bottom of the starter
