Dude just get it from a parts store so you have a warranty. Dont get it from Ebay. And remember, if you take it some place like Auto Zone and they bench test it, it may test good because there is no resistance from the fly wheel.
The gear may pop out and spin but once its in the car it needs to be strong enough to turn the flywheel.
Besides you can test it in your driveway it you have jumper cables or a jump box.

nope man, it was a 17mm, very long bolt, removed starter and put in new, didnt work, same exact thing going on, couple times it sounded like it was about to take off , like a puff from the exhaust, and then just keeps cranking. i give up for now since im down another 120$ for the starter. next to think about is spark i guess. had a problem like this a long long time ago, turned out to be the dist. any thoughts?

English!
Why not? Thats the best way to test it. Any parts store tests it the same way except they hook it to a machine that has a switch.
And this makes no sense.

Re: starter acting up, please help
As for testing the starter. Take the neg clamp fromm jumper cables and ground the starter. Take the positive and hit the stud sticking out of the back of the solenoid. Simple as that.
As for the second part of your post.... Well I just dont understand what you are trying to get at. He hasnt been able to get the starter to turn over. The new one or the old one. What switch are you talking about?
Either way it doesnt really matter because obviously it isnt a starter issue.

for your test theory is if he couldnt figure out to troubleshoot this problem then i wouldnt recommend you give him advise to jump his starter an take dat change o fuckin it up or himself. not once did anyone tell him to hold the starter down.lol im just sayin

No where in here has he said he started it with a jumper wire either.
I still believe its a problem in the starting system. Hondas are not that complicated when it comes to starting and charging systems as other vehicles can be.
