[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1018666, member: 58988"] I don't think the current design (electric) is of the Bendix type (inertia). This has me wondering if it's possible that the electromagnet could fail such that the solenoid could still function as an effective relay (continuing to provide power to the starter motor), but no longer drive the pinion gear in to the flywheel. Either way, solenoids can be tested and are relatively inexpensive. [/QUOTE]
