Engine Engine solenoid?
Hello, we are in possession of a 1985 CJ7. It has 4.2L I6 engine. Its been sitting for a long time and we are trying to get it going again. When trying to start the engine, we hear a loud screeching sound coming from the solenoid. We disconnected the solenoid and connected the battery directly to the starter. Nothing happened. We took the starter off, and discovered is was filled with gunk. We sprayed some WD-40 in it and we connected it to a battery and got it working again. We re installed the starter and tried to add power again, and nothing happened.
We then tried to turn the crank shaft manually. It turned counter clockwise about 6-8 times then seized and wouldn't move anymore. We then turned it clockwise about 3-5 times and locked up again. Any suggestions on what to do next?
