Good to hear you're making progress. For the starter, it sounds like the starter solenoid is going bad. You can rebuild it yourself or have a local rebuilder do it for you. My understanding is its not too bad to do it yourself but I've never done one nor tried to source the brushes and other r&r parts for it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
