Hey Cruiser Bro's and Broette's,
I have a 1966 (likely a 1964) fj40. Stock (except) HEI mechanical advance ignition from Man-a-Fre. I think it's called a lightning strike or something like that for our purposes. Any help, thoughts or directions would be helpful.
Symptoms:
1) No power to starter through igniton key switch.
2) When I "jump" my starter from solenoid to starter it does not engage and just spins but seems to be getting power.
Attempted diagnostics:
1) Replaced starter and new starter did the exact same thing. Had old starter tested and test came back that original starter was OK.
2) Battery is good.
3) Fuses are good
4) Old ignition switch (at the key) tested and has continuity when I turn the key.
5) Rolled it in gear to see if flywheel would do something with no response.
Help: Are these two problems related? No power to turn it over from ignition switch but even when jumped from solenoid starter doesn't engage and just spins.
Any tips troubleshooting tips would be helpful. Thank you!
