[QUOTE="doctordick, post: 206569, member: 2595"] Okay, so WTF is that big round thing on top of the starter motor? It's a F'n SOLENOID. It pulls in to engage the drive to the flywheel, therefore if you eliminate it, the starter motor will run but never engage the drive!!!! Adding a remote relay does absolutely nothing to prevent the solenoid coil from absorbing heat which causes higher resistance which requires higher current for the solenoid plunger to engage the drive. What a remote relay does is provide more current to the solenoid coil. Sometimes that is all that is required to resolve the problem, but not always. I don't care how much add on **** you throw at a bad starter, it ain't gonna work right if it's ****ed up so why not take it to a parts store and have it tested, that's just common sense. Relay kit won't fix a bad bushing. You can be a parts changer or a technician, the choice is yours but you'll save yourself time, headaches and money if you use a logical approach to resolving the problem instead of just slingin'**** at it. Just maybe the reason a heat shield didn't work for badattitude_13 is that his starter was bad :flipoff1: By the way, badattitude, I have a degree in Electronics Engineering technology and have been building engines for about 50 years now. I converted that old Willys in my avatar to TBI more than 15 years ago before you could buy an aftermarket harness and I spent 15 years teaching guys to troubleshoot and repair complex electronic controls of mechanical equipment.
