Starter keeps goin to hell on me
 
In the last 6 months I have been thru 3 starters, two from the salvage yard And the 3rd I had rebuilt by a very reputable auto-electric guy. I just hopped in and turned the key and click, starter is dead again. Any ideas why?

By the way, it's a 94 with a 351

Take the starter back and see if the guy will warrant it. Invest in upgraded positive and negative cables throughout the circuit thus improving current flow.

I was able to get it started this morning by crawling under it and beating on the starter with a concrete pin. I had the brother in law turn the key while I beat the starter, I saw sparks coming from the top side of it and it turned over. Maybe it is a connection. I may try and pick up some new battery cables tomoro

When the grounds are bad, they will cook a starter fairly quick as I experienced. Most of my major grounds are a 4ga cable from the body to frame, battery to starter, starter to the frame and battery to engine.
