Slow or no starter motor turning-
Aim the Vanagon on the downhill-

Find a coupla friends- strangers to help push-

Let your 9 year old drive and let him pop the clutch-

No more starting flat spots or dead spots when turning that engine over..
Those days are over--

1. installed the relay- on my back in the deep freeze took abt 45 mins-
on a fresh piece of cardboard and with a dimming flashlight.
on a lift in the warm should take 15 mins..

also
2. Heavy primary cable from positive battery to starter was hanging on by 
threads of that very thick cable-- spliced in a new cable end-lotsa duck tape
a piece of inner tube as addl insulation..

LIKE NEW!!
that starter whips around in the coldest of weather.
