<VV> Starting problem

[Duane, Jim]

Hi Brian

Hmmm, I believe you may have a stuck solonoid.  The coil inside can
stick/fuse/not let go, causing the engine to crank continuously.  Just a
thought, but maybe when the engine is warm, the solonoid is warm and
doesn't stick...

Subject: <VV> Starting problem

Hi:

My '65 Monza under normal circumstances will start and shut off
properly.  If it has been sitting for a while and their is no gas in the
carbs, then the starter motor will not disengage when I turn the key
off.  It will keep running until it overheats or I disconnect the
battery ground.  The starter and solenoid are not that old - maybe a
couple of years and 5000 miles.  Is the starter or solenoid no good or
is this a wiring problem?  I am confused, as I would think either one of
those problems would cause it to misbehave all the time.  Any thoughts
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Brian
