[Shotimes] starter solenoid

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

I don't mean just the posts turn, the whole "cap" on the end of the
solenoid with the posts in it turns.  It didn't turn far, and stopped
as I tightened the nuts on the connections, but it didn't seem right.
I suppose I should pull the starter out and check it.  Sigh.
