Is it Thom who couldn't get his '56 started ? I was talking to a VW wise-man last night and he was telling me that his bus wouldn't start when it was hot - the start wouldn't turn fast after a long run. Problem: The wire that operates the solenoid on the starter apparently decays and causes this problem of slow started - I don't see how myself. Solution: Re-run this length of wire or add a starter switch in the engine may ie. a wire that goes from the solenoid to the battery via a switch. Use this switch to control the starter - with the ignition on as well. I don't have this problem so I can't say whether it works on not.
