    Default Nova gte starter wiring

    Which way round do the wires go on the starter. Car is a 1.2 merit with a 1.6 gte in. Got big red and small black/red. There are 3 poles on the starter motor. Any pics would be good.

    Big red onto the top post on the solenoid and the small black/red onto the spade/post on the right of the larger post (as you look at the back of it)

    Right wires up as said and nothing is happening turn key and wont crank. Think starter is kerput. Would the 1.2 starter fit the 1.6?
