    need solenoid for 80 special . . .

    When I hit my start button, I hear a lot of clicking and no response from solenoid. After several stabs at the starter, the solenoid kicks in and engages the starter. Anyway, this is how it seems to me.

    Any suggestions? I think I am right to get nother solenoid, but I am way open for advice.

    Thanks bros!

    Take it apart and clean the contacts inside.

      And check the voltage at the starter terminals while you try to crank it.
