Well, in over 15 years of working in the industry as an auto-electrician, I never encountered a solenoid that was sticky. I encountered plenty of solenoids that wouldn't engage because the motor brushes were worn out (remember - the solenoid pull-in winding earths through the starter motor so worn brushes means no earth circuit).

There could always be a first time though.
