My point was whether or not the gear on the starter actually "pops out" to engage the engine. I really was not trying to come across as condesending or being a dick. I was just trying to help you out. But really in my experience I've had people test my parts and while they may function properly on the bench in some cases did not in the actual application. As far as the battery power issue again I'm not trying to insult you or talk down to you, I'm just a car lover trying to help out a fellow car lover. I appologize if I came across as rude man. I hope you get the issue resolved and get your ride back on the road.
