For those following my previous post regarding an intermittent starter, I was able to fix the problem. What I ended up doing was removing the starter, taking the solinoid apart and cleaning the solenoid. I also polished the solenoid plunger (I could see some wear marks on it) then put a very light coat of dielectric grease on it and reassembled it. I also wire brushed the starter terminals and lightly sanded them and also applied dielectric grease on the terminals and reassembled the starter. Since I've done this, the starter works perfectly. I don't know how long this fix will work, but the price was right. Todd '88 Westy
