Noticed a delay a few (intermittant) times when starting over a few weeks. Turn the key, just a moment or two of hesitation, then start. Then once it wouldn't start so I pushed it, jumped in and popped the clutch, and it started and then no problem for a few weeks. Went out this AM and no start. Lights and bells fine. Starter gave no signs of getting tired. I would like to try to electrically "jump" the starter to see if it is broke (I don't think so), but havn't done that in a long time and would like a refresher from anyone out there who has done this recently. Any other diagnostic hints would also be helpful. I have a VW inline 4 in there, and the starter is somewhat accessable. Same type starter as waterboxer. I am also facing downhill in a pull in parking spot so jumpstarting with a push is not an option (unless I get someone to pull me out of this parking spot).</FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size=3 face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV><DIV><FONT size=3 face=Tahoma>Dave B.</FONT></DIV></div>
