Default RE: 850 starter

The easiest way to try to find out if it is the starter is to wire a light bulb to the small wire on the starter and ground.This way everytime you turn the key to start you will see the light lightup.Then if nothing happens with the starter and the ligth is on then you know the used starter is bad.
