sometimes my 914 starts sometimes it doesnt. it usually starts when it has not been driven for awhile (atleast a couple hours). but always fails to start if i shut it off then try to start it up again right away. it will always start if i push start it and it will stay running so i think i have a bad starter. what do you think. thank you

Hi
This is actually a common problem for 914s. The starter gets hot and the relay resistance goes up, causing a "hot" dead starter. A good rebiuld will work but using a remote relay will insure many years of trouble free performance.
