Subject:      New Starter...Solenoid Hanging Up
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi,

Just put in a new rebuilt Bosch starter in my 87. Worked well last night, this morning and afternoon. Then this evening when I started it up the solenoid/drive gear would not disengage. I can get the starter to disengage when I start by blipping the throttle and switching the ignition on and off quickly. Jumped the solenoid at the starter, same thing happened until I pulled the wire from the switch off...

Defective starter...or what? I'm taking off for a camping trip with my grandson on Friday...worse comes to worse, I can do the on/off thing for the weekend if I have to.

Thanks,

Ric 87 Westy.
