I'm guessing the most expedient solution, then, would be to have another
starter assembly ready to go up in place of the faulty one. It figures it
would be the solenoid. The relay would be too easy! Still, at $10 for the
relay, I should probably verify that first.

Thanks for the feedback. Nice to see the list is still alive.

| Tim,

| Good Luck,
