^ will give it a shot tomorrow, in the middle of hooking up my alarm again(when it was done 4 years ago, rubbish job)
so just to recap..
1. pos terminal on normal place
2. neg terminal to starter housing I.e. leg with bolt hole
3. jump the 12v to the solenoid terminal
should spin up right?
after much mucking about it's finally alive
ended up replacing ALL alarm wiring, replaced the negative terminal to chassis, ended up replacing the positive lug(clipped back all wires to expose new wire) and added another ground to my gearbox for a total of two
all this on the original starter motor
fires up immediately now
i just pulled the contacts out of my starter motor and they are completely shagged to say the least.
^ what brand is it? mitsuba(sp?) ones can be rebuilt while others can't
the starter motor has a denso sticker/stamp thingo on it, but the contacts look like theyve been replaced before.
Always thought it would be grounding issue.
bad news, appears to be back again after working for about 4 days
I can verify push starting works though
crappy iphone pic.

now it's grounding which is my problem
fixed it up with a home made 4ga ground cable
