Just reinstalled my type 4 engine back into car everything wired up as before, upon initial start engine fired right up pretty effortlessly and continued to do so after several starts starter motor kicks in and , a HiTorque IMF, it actuates solenoid and motor spins right up. After bout 1/2 dozen starts the starter only activates the solenoid but no spin. I can hear the solenoid engaging. This is an old starter but haven't had problems before the engine re-install. I removed starter and bench tested with 12 volt leads and jumper cable on solenoid and it engages and spins readily. What's going on?
