Hey, folks,
I got a problem. My starter (more correctly, the solenoid) sticks
when the van is hot, like after a long drive. I have perfected the routine
of grabbing a board and running around to the wheel well and poking the
starter, which works, but I am looking for a more permanent solution. I have
already cleaned contacts, checked voltage, etc., and it isn't electrical --
my guess is that something is getting hot and expanding and wedging it self.
One quick tap with a piece of pine usually dislodges it. Any opinions or war
stories are welcome. Thanks.
