<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>Pull the starter and check the starter motor teeth and the flywheel teeth. I think(????) if the solanoid was bad it would not even spin. If I am wrong someone will correct me! But I know busted teeth will cause this, and you will be pulling the starter anyways if it is a possible solanoid.

This started happening when the temperature started <DIV></DIV>>getting down in the 40s and lower. The starter was last replaced in 1996 <DIV></DIV>>for what then probably wasn't a starter problem. I seem to remember some of <DIV></DIV>>the list members talking about greese hanging things up in the starter. How <DIV></DIV>>is the best way to go about checking this? Is there a certain part that is <DIV></DIV>>at fault? Hard greese? Is it easy to clean out and what greese should be <DIV></DIV>>used (Moly with graphite in it versis other types)? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>William <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html>
