| hey all. I have a Volvo 5.0 ford inboard motor. Here is the problem--I was out of state during this last freeze & got back today. So I go to crank up the motor & nothing. Change in a fresh battery & the starter turns over real slowlyfor about a second, then nothing. try it a few more times & just hear the solenoid clicking but no turning. I then pull all the spark plugs, try again & same thing. What can my problem be?? Can it be due to the freeze? Please tell me it's just my starter. Thanks--jared

| That would be great--I looked at the cable connecting to my starter & it looks pretty corroded so I'm gonna clean that after work. --Could this problem be caused by cracked block or freeze plugs because it cranked up just fine before i left town 2 weeks ago?

| I agree with the previous post; most likely cables / connections. If you have freeze damage, it will show when you do get it cranked, but as long as the motor was covered, you should be okay as it did not get quite as cold as the earlier forcasts. Good luck.

It should still turn over. Sounds like a starter/wire issue to me as well.
