Solenoid problem?
Do solenoids get weak and fade or do they just quit altogether? Sometimes mine will just give one click. Let off the gas pedal, hit it again and it cranks. I just finished cleaning all the contacts on the solenoid and battery.

Re: Solenoid problem?
A microswitch can go out that way ..... have you also cleaned the cable connections at the starter?

Re: Solenoid problem?
Mine did that. Thought the brushes in the starter were going bad. Turned out the starter belt wasn`t tight enough. tightened it up and works fine now.

Re: Solenoid problem?
