I am in need of a starter for a 1958 Dexta. The starter is a Lucus M456. I had this one repaired last year but now it drains the battery if the hot wire is connected. When I went out to use it after setting most of the winter the battery was dead. I charged it and when I connected the battery it drew a good arc. Took starter off and connected a battery up to it with jumper cables. When doing so it drew a big arc. Thanks for any help.

bernie, that doesn't right. Power for the starter goes through the solenoid and if the solenoid is not powered up, then no voltage should be on the starter. It's an open circuit. I think you need to elsewhere for your fault.

Tony, you are correct. The problem was a bad solenoid. I will replace it tomorrow. Thanks

Bernie
