Sticky solenoid isn't an unknown problem, a tap with a hammer was the old school cure. Dodgy/loose/corroded engine earth strap will also give similar symptoms of start/no-start, so check that before smashing your solenoid to smithereens in frustration...
EDIT: Just read your message properly, sounds like starter solenoid etc. are fine, but your ignition switch terminals might be gakky..? Last edited by BicycleBoy; Jul 19th, 2022 at 11:30. |
