<VV> Starter

Yes, throw another solenoid on when the old one was off. If the problem 
dissapears, it was a faulty solenoid. If not, then you need to read the 
voltage on the solenoid terminals while it is cranking incorrectly. This 
is a lot trickier to do, so parts swapping is a preferred method of 
initial trouble shooting this situation.

Also, it was a sticking solenoid for me! (1956 Buick 30 years ago)

And now for your tax question....

On my wife's Rampy the starter motor stays engaged more often than not.  The bendix is kicking out (so it's not damaging the flywheel ring gear).  Always (so far) works normally after disconnecting the ground terminal on the battery for a second.  Put a test light on the start switch and turned it off and on a few hunderd times.  It is good.  Pulled solenoid and dissasembled.  Looks normal inside.  Slug is free to move and disc looks normal.  Contact fingers seem to be properly located.  I could throw another solenoid on it but that is not the way I like to fix things.  Any ideas????????
