Default starter problem

put in a new starter but only the selinoid will click or move the bendix spring but the starter won't do anything. Could the new starter be bad ? Thanks for any info.

The starter could be bad but I'd first check to ensure the battery is fully charged and that all of the electrical connections are clean and tight, including the engine-to-frame ground strap.

You should always bench test it before replacing the old one and before putting in the new one. It will save a lot of fustrations.
