                   Sounds like the solonoid is heat
soaking or you have a wiring problem, first check that
all the wires going to the starter are clean, grounds
in good condition, transmission and battery. If all
the connections are good replace the soloniod. This
happened on mine (80 Westy) and it was the solonoid on
the starter. Phil
