That's a fascinating subject line.

Suggest setting up a remote start switch or a 
jumper lead (long lead from RS with booted 
crocodile clips is just right and can be secured 
with last couple inches hanging down and 
protected but able to be lifted to contact 
alternator B+).  If it's a sticky solenoid then 
that shouldn't make much difference.  If it's the 
switch it will work perfectly from the back.
