    Posted: 04 May 2016 at 9:19pm
I got a question on my WD starter switch. It is new on a newly rebuilt starter. The problem is that as I tighten up the nut that holds the battery cable on, the switch is turning inside. Do you just take the two screws off and pull the starter switch off, then turn the nut so it turns the switch so it is right...then put it back on with the two screws ? Is that how you get it tight and make sure the starter switch is positioned right?
Thanks!

I think there should be 2 nuts on the post. One should be tight and pull the post into position on the housing, then you connect the cable and tighten the top one.

Well, not by the pictures I see online, maybe you got a bum imitation switch?
Some have 2 nuts.

You might have to find a couple "jam nuts" if yours is too thick to allow a second nut. Jam nuts are about half the thickness of a regular nut.

Yes you will need the second nut to tighten up on the cable.
Sounds like your making progress! We need some pictures too!:)

They should be brass nuts, not steel in that application.

Mike, I think you should take the switch off to make sure the contact is setting square with the movable contact when the bottom nut is tight. It wouldn't hurt to make sure the stud and contact are insulated from the housing once you have it tight. An easy check if you have a test light or ohm meter.

If the 2 insulators are in place the bolt can't turn much. Without the insulators you will have fireworks. Bob
