Re: Starter sticking

78, the problem is the starter solinoid sticking. Can be caused by low battery voltage resulting in a high amp draw welding the switch disc to the B+ term and the M terminal inside the sol. Also a weak return spring on the starter drive clutch fork or rusty splines on the armature. If the elec system is up to snuff, get a rebuilt from NAPA. They are cheap and come with a 2 year warentee.

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
