<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />I've replaced 3 starters with the same problem.Next time it happens,try engaging the clutch cancel switch,I'm starting to think the clutch switch is causing the problem.I took my starter apart and it was perfect,Good luck.Oh yeah,I also keep a metal bar in my runner to bang on the starter when it acts up.works every time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
