Re: Starter sticking

while both of the above replies are right on what you can do before you replace the starter is to get under there and give it a good rap with a hammer once or twice, and see if that clears it up. I had one like that and there was some piece of junk in there that was holding it up on the solenoid or something and it worked fine after a good whack.
that also works if the solenoid is older and hangs up , although in any event it usually means the solenoid is on its way out and will be needing replacement soon enough
