I know this is a dumb question, but I still feel a need to ask. What is a proper way to bench test a starter to see if it runs? I have a 12v battery booster pack, the kind you keep in your car(or don't, in my case). Would it be reasonably safe and electrically appropriate to put the starter case in a post vise, hook the red wire to the post on the case, hook the black wire to the vise handle and flip the switch? Would I be better off just to put the starter on the floor and connect both wires directly to it? Are these both bad ideas? It is a Case VAC starter, if that matters. Thank you very much for any advice.
