I've been watching the golf tourney and it's bad...........enough to cancel the first round and restart today.

Sea's don't look friendly either..........sorry as that's probably screwing up the certification dive.

This starter reminds me of when I re-did the fuel tank on the Nomad... and figured as long as I was there I'd swap out the fuel pump relay for a new one... the old one had been in there for maybe 5 years... Fired it up - drove to meet Rudy for breakfast before the GoodGuys show. Turned it off - had breakfast - came out -- nothing - no pressure - no sound. Jumped the fuel pump and she ran just fine...so the brand new relay was removed and the old one fished from the garbage and re-installed - it's been in there ever since.
Always a possibility with electronics.........simplifies the troubleshooting.

In my case it was probably excessive use even though I was trying not to cook it. There were changes to the replacement solenoid. Switch terminal was beefier and brass vs. plated, 2 shims were included and instructions said use them (not optional), and the spring was black oxide coated vs. zinc.
