Alright, ive got a starting problem on my 240, and yes ive already searched and read every thread i could find. This problem seems different.

Sometime when i go to start it, i hear a faint click, and nothing else. replaced starter & solenoid, replaced relay, checked for correct voltages, and even used a thermal imaging camera to check for wires developing high resistance. no cigar.

Now get this: If i put it into gear and roll it ever so slightly, like not even enough to turn over, i hear another click, and then i turn the key and it starts right up. What could this be?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

how loud is the click? is it a ping?
if you are rolling in gear, that means your flywheel is moving ever so slightly. so i would look at your starter being stuck out or shitty, or your flywheel being a pos

^^^^i agree, sounds like your starter isnt getting into the flywheel teeth.

Good call, but the starter doesnt spin at all, so i dont believe its an issue with the flywheel. I have teeth missing in the flywheel of my truck, and what the 240 is doing is decidedly different.

Still having the issue... Any other thoughts?

Sounds like its the starter then. Swap in a new or used one. Nothing really else it could be.....

Still nothing or figured it out cuz I have the same problem randomly sometimes. I think it's something to do with the flywheel cuz when I did what you do it starts up fine too
