1984 Vanagon Westfalia
1.9 liter motor
Manual transmission
New Ignition Switch
Battery 12.81 volts sitting
Bosch Reconditioned Startrer
New Starter Bushing
Cleaned negative terminals from battery & transmission today!
Problem: If I touch the main terminal on solenoid to starter terminal(50), starter runs
strong once, twice, three times, four times consistently.
When I try from the starter switch � stater begins but then cranks slowly and
sometimes stops dead but will eventually start.  I have noticed that it seems to start
normally when the engine is warm.  Any more things for me to check?
Thanks in advance.
Wrenold
