October 19, 201014 yr Author comment_333848 another question i have, and maybe this could be the problem, is that when i went to tighten the the bolt on the solenoid (the one with the positive wire from the battery connected to it) the whole top piece now rotates and moves, could this cause a problem from the solenoid? the parts that rotate when tightening is the whole top piece, where it has the one bolt that the positive connects to, the other bolt that has the black wire running from the starter motor, and the connector that connects to the black wire Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/37401-pic-of-73-240z-starter/?&page=2#findComment-333848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 20, 201014 yr comment_333871 If you think you may have a short in the solenoid it may be worth remove the screws and taking a look inside. There should have been a jam-nut on the post to keep it from spinning.
