Do you think a loose connection would result in nothing at all? Because I am getting something (sounds like something spinning at a high speed), it is just not engaging the motor at all.



It's likely a poor/loose ground would provide enough juice to spin the starter but not engage the solenoid and thrust the starter pinion into the drivetrain (but, without a manual I admit this is a guess based on previous experiences).


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
