Subject:      Starter Woes - '88GL
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


  Recently, the starter on my stock 2.1 L WBX has beun to drag on
starting. It has gotten progressively worse, and last night, when
departing an art show, almost didn't start the engine. Today it simply
want start. Grinds the engine over a couple of turns, hen just poops
out. Put in a fresh battery, cleaned the terminals and the battery
ground point to the body. Still grind, grind, stop. So, not a battery
problem. Could be another ground problem somewhere, or the starter itself.


I need educating on starter trouble shooting, maintenance, R&R and
Starter Tips and. Tricks. Any of you good Volks up to the task??


Thanks.


John
