<VV> Starter problem

[Bill Meglen]

Matt,

Prescient! (wow, where did that come from? maybe its because I have  
been attentive to the "geology thread" instead of the "old timey radio"  
thread. that I am now more eloquent ).

I recall that a "cheater" wire was often present in V-Dubs and 914's as  
an alternative to  using a screwdriver across solenoid terminals to  
"work around" a similar problem.

Since I have come out of the closet on electrical aptitude, and am  
therefore certifiably autistic, can you amplify on where the relay is  
installed in the ignition switch circuit.

Since this is becoming the equivalent of a 12 step program, I want to  
admit that I have "jacked" a Corvair with a floor jack on the  
differential, but I will never do so again!

Bill
