As a general comment, the Bendix has nothing to do with a solenoid that
doesn't respond.
Cordially,
Alan Lambert

>Hi Alan and all,
> This has been a recurring problem with my Duetto. I
added a relay near the starter and that helped for a while then the problem
started again. I replaced the solenoid and again that helped only for a
while. I recently replaced the starter with a used one I had on the shelf and
installed what I considered to be the best working solenoid and so far, so
good!!
> I believe what is happening is that since that solenoid gets it's
ground thru the starter motor, something in the motor is developing higher
resistance when it gets hot causing the solenoid to not get the current flow
it needs to energize. That's just my theory but since they seem to work well
cold and changing the motor seems to have cured my problem - - - - Skip

Starter solenoid The solenoid on my 1974 Spider starter sticks and abandons me
when hot---(very frustrating to sit in a parking lot waiting and hoping that
sooner or later I can get out of there)--- Banging on it with a metal rod
often loosens it up.
