After I have not driven my R for awhile and get in to start it, it wont turn over. It just clicks like a dead battery. Ill turn the key 10-12 times before the motor will turn over and start. Bad starter? Also, I just put my rebuilt motor in. Does a new motor require more oil than usual, or burn oil during the break in process? Thanks...

 

did u mess with anything?

 

try jumping the starter directly from the battery. check your grounds also.

 

What do you mean "jump the starter directly from the battery"?

 

sometimes i also have that problem when i don't drive for about 3 days, what can that be?!

 

the shop ran power directly from the battery to the starter to see if it if it would spin on it's own. in my case it did. so they looked for a ground fault and found that the ground to the transmission casing was loose when it wasn't properly attached after the re/re my transmission, causing an intermittent start.

this may not be your case though. it was just a suggestion.

 

Got it. Thanks...
