Default Re: Lethargic starter motor

Good afternoon all.

It could also be a dodgy solenoid, the internal contacts could have an could be somewhat burnt, therefore causing an intermittent contact.
Try bypassing the solenoid next time it happens. Use a hefty piece of metal, or a jump lead clamp between the solenoid contacts. If it cranks ok then it's probably the solenoid at fault.


Cheers.
