Phil, I am plagued with a starting problem with my 1980 as well. My starter turns the engine over but the engine will just not catch. Does your starter turn over or do you have to hit it to get it to do so? \/\/i!!y -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM] On Behalf Of phil hans Sent: May 27, 2002 22:15 To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: '80 starter fails until you knock it [known vanagon problem] Hi everyone. I'm having the problem with the starter. Gotta knock it with a pipe after it is hot to get it to work. How do you fix this problem? Get a new starter? But won't it just start again? The starter I have now I replace 3 years ago. Any ideas? Phil Hanson '80 Westfalia __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
