On my Universal, it was the solenoid; took dozens of button pushes. Then it
did it again a year later, only not nearly as bad. The mechanic rewired so the
starter button and glow plugs were no longer interconnected. The voltage drop
caused by the glow plug was the culprit apparently. Now I let up the glow plug
and hit the starter and it seems to work fine.Mechanic didn't think it should
ever have been wired so that the glow plug had to be pushed for the starter
button to function.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Subject: Re: Stus-List Deal on starter from Mastry
Francois gave you some good things to look at. My first shot would be a dirty
start button/switch. I'd try jumping across the back of the switch.
As for starters, boat on my pier had a Volvo diesel. Starter went bad. Volvo
starter was north of $700. Lo and behold, it uses the same starter as a
Mitsubishi Lancer which can be bought for less than $100.
As it turned about, it wasn't the starter. I ended up with the old starter if
anybody out there has a Volvo (or a Lancer) and needs a spare. It's been
tested.
