well, i actually have the westy sold, if i can fix this problem. can anybody help me?????? simptoms: when i try and start the bus, i turn the key and it fires right up. engine starts all right, but the starter does not disengage. i can hear the starter motor spinning while the motor is running. if i turn the key back to start a few times, the starter will disengage and i can take off. what i have done: i replaced the electrical unit in the ignition, thinking it was sticking. this has really done nothing to sure the problem. could this be my silinoid sticking, or something else? i really want to get rid of this bus as i don't want to learn about the type 4 fuel injected motor. 40hp motors will do me just fine. thanks in advance and God Bless matt
