AFter 'gently' knocking the starter with the handle end of a hammer, it will start. Does the entire starter motor need replacing or just the soleniod?••••••• ideas?? Thanks.   Greg Hirst (Gregh) Member Username: Gregh Post Number: 226 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, June 15, 2003 - 03:27 pm:    Replace both and save some grief...   David Hobbs (Ca_surveyor) New Member Username: Ca_surveyor Post Number: 31 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, June 16, 2003 - 07:56 am:    Mine was giving me a click sound only at mid-warm. From a cold or hot engine it would start fine. I replaced it and problem gone. But not before replacing the battery and battery wires though. My starter had allen bolts verses standard bolts. Stripped the bottom one and had to grind it off. The top one, required removing the exhaust manifold for good access and torque to get it out. Could do it again now, in about 2 hours. Good luck.   phil Dauksys (Dauksyp) New Member Username: Dauksyp Post Number: 7 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 02:15 pm:    Thanks guys, going to replace both.
