Battery drain when starting - new battery kicked right over. 2hours later would not turn over fast enough to start. Newly charged battery then no response. Am I on the right track with a new stater? thanx for any help[.

I'd check all my connections and the solenoid first. Try jumping across the main terminals of the solenoid too to see if it will turn over.<br /><br />Good luck :)

Another thing. If still no response from the starter, you may be able to just make a feew minor repairs, The brushes may be worn out.
