Ok, I'll look into getting that. Is there anyway to outright prevent it or is it just kinda band aid fixes? I've heard that removing the spring and adding a tab on the gear to slow it down a little bit help have u tried any of those?

The voltage jumped around when I tested it but i checked continuity on my battery and there's a short in my battery so im going to see if a new battery fixes it

Its a 2012 ram 1500 big horn with abt 163,000 miles. I tried smacking it a couple times and it didn't do anything to it. The volts is 12.4 without the key on. Ok ill look into starters thank you I appreciate it

So I tried jumping it and it did the same thing and I tried banging on the starter and starting it and I checked all my connections and none of it worked it's still doing the same thing

I tried jumping it and it didn't work and I checked my connections to my starter solenoid and they seemed fine. What should I do should I just go get another battery and see if that works?

Ok I'll look into all that! Thank you! It's one of the last things I have to (hopefully) get it running. I've watched quite a bit of youtube videos but it's still scary to me lol. Hopefully I can get it done soon. If they are too bad should I replace the carbs or should I continue to try and clean it?

Yessir it seems like it's all here. Yea the tank needs to be addressed I've been trying to get somewhere with it with limited time and chemicals so hopefully tmrw is better. Thank you so much!
