My starter has a similar problem in that every once in a while when I turn the key I get absolutely no response.  No clicking, whirring, nothing.  If I turn the key back to the off position and then try it again, it starts right up.


I have heard that this could be due to a "dead spot" on the starter and that I shouldn't worry about it.  It has done this randomly for the past 5 years (as long as I have had the rig).  Does anyone else have this problem and is it something I should worry about?


Thanks!
