Subject:      Do I need a new starter???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I wonder if you could help me, yesterday I went to fill up for gas, so I
turned the van off, filled up went to pay and when I returned and tried to
start it all I got was a loud click, each time I tried it that was all I
got.  I ended up starting it by getting it rolling and popping the clutch.
I got home and obviously it wouldn't start.
I do have a new battery in it.  Do you suppose it's the starter?  If so what
am I looking at to replace it?  How hard is it to replace? and how much
labor would a mechanic charge to put one in, or can I do it myself (limited
mechanical ability!!)?
Thanks
Dale Hartman
