Well I think my starter, solenoid or both is/are going bad. Meaning after a long… hot… ride, it just won’t start just buzzes like a solenoid. After it cools down it starts right up (about two beers). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
On my old 289 Cobra jet, I just raised the hood and whacked it with a hammer – worked every time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Should I replace the solenoid, get a new starter, or just bring more beer. If I get a new starter any recommendations on what type should I get? I have heard about more HP starters, smaller, stock, etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Regards, James |
