I have a 1976 914 2L that is stock. The engine runs great and starts right up when cold. After driving the car and the engine warms up, I shut it off and have a very difficult time restarting it. After it sits for a while and cools down, it starts up fine. Any ideas? Thanks, John VS

"they all do that"
starters have a hard life in the 914 - over the exhaust, behind the engine... first, clean up all the grounds you can find, especially the transmission ground strap. but probably, it's some combination of cooked grease in the solenoid and just wear. not too horrible to R&R the starter, thoroughly clean and re-grease the solenoid, and reassemble. that might work. the ultimate fix is a genuine Bosch reman starter. and good electrical grounds everywhere... |
