Re: [Amc-list] Starter solenoid conversion ???

[WILLIAM SERCKIE <realtorbill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Ahhhh !  Now you tell me bout snugging up two screws...after almost 90 minutes on th etop bolt (no room to get a decent wrench into).and yes it was an intermittent  problem that turned to a constant problem yesterday...
   
  Car Quest comes through again, only this time their part was $20.00 more than APD, but was in stock and with shipping would have probably been the same...
   
  Now to go and put it back together...Yippeee !
   
  Thanks again Tom and Frank for your help ...
   
  I'm still staring at the 1963 American with the control arm issue but it's time will come soon...

It's not just the solenoid, it actually pushes the starter gear into the 
flywheel. YOu need a replacement.

However, often they disassemble themselves and stop working! Did it go 
intermittent? Sometiems work sometimes not? I've found that the two 
longish case screws come loose and simply need tightening. You can do it 
in the car if you're good at microgymnastics (as I call it, operating a 
small wrench blind with your arms stuck in the car in crazy angles).
