If the solenoid is weak, if the piston is stuck, or if connections are weak starter the start motor would not run. If the motor runs it can only be after the gear is engaged by movement of the solenoid piston to its limit where the contacts are struck by the copper disc that turns the start motor on thus the starter drive has to be slipping. That's not an uncommon problem. ----------mg Please note: message attached From: "David Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'hyfire303'" <josh@xxxxxxxxxx>, <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: [Chrysler300] 1958- starter wont engage Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2012 22:08:45 -0500 ____________________________________________________________ The New "Skinny" Fruit How This Strange 62-Cent African Fruit Is Making Americans Skinny. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/4f7989b03627e0537ast02duc [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Chrysler300/join and select the "Leave Group" button For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylangYahoo!
