ok guys im lost on this one. i have a 1988 samurai with a 1.6 8v tracker motor in it. it has the clicky starter fix kit on it as well. installed a winch on sami two days ago everything worked fine winch worked and sami started right up. installed new Optima Yellowtop battery today number D34/78-950 this battery is dual post 750cca 870ca deep cycle battery. after install sami fired right up no hitch about it ran winch test run all was good. shut it off turned back on it fired up again. third time i tried to crank it it made a squil and grinding type sound hard to explain and did not even turn over but sounded like starter motor was turnin. when i let off key it winded down in just a few seconds(2 or so). turned key over again and it fired up. now tried to move it to trailer and its doin nothin but making that same noise and not turning over...is this a starter issue not engaging? if so could it be because of the new battery? some wire i need to check? lost guys thanks for help in advance.
