Got a wee problem with the starter.... when cold it does turn the engine but sounds like the pinion is not catching all the time (clicks a lot). When the cars warmed up it turns over fine, no problems at all. This morning however there was nowt, not a sound, so I turned the key several times and it did eventually start but with lots of clicks and roughness. It cant be the pinion or flywheel as any other time its fine, so I took the feed wire off, re-crimped it and so far its been OK today.
Am I on the right track here, my thinking is bad connection means the solenoid is throwing pinion out but letting it back now and again? Guess if it does it again I may have to get re-con motor...
