[Shotimes] Fw: HELP with no-start

[DAVE]

Mine did this for a few weeks. And being a Ford guy I had a few extra solenoids laying around I swapped the orginal out for another one and it stopped. Then a few weeks later it would engage the starter and not disengage it. Guess the one I tossed on was bad too. 8 bucks at Autozone for a new one and it's not done it since. I think I would go with the solenoid.

Need to check for voltage at starter and from the clutch switch & ignition
switch. Hot no starts can be solenoid.

slowly). It has now repeated this three times; hot = no start, wait =
eventual start.
