Subject:      Vanagon Starting Problems

Just took off on a weekend trip with the family and the Vanagon started to
snit.  Would not crank with the ignition key until a crawled under the van
and momentarily connected a jumper wire from the starter solenoid
connection to the battery lead.  Once I made that momentary connection, it
would crank and start.  As soon as I shut off the vehicle - same senario.
If I crawled underneath and tickled the starter - works fine until the
next start.  


I recall discussions in the past regarding starting problems, but failed
to pay much attention to them.  After 170,000 miles looks like it's my
turn.  Any assistance is appreciated.


Thanks, Fred
