Solenoid is your problem. Probably have to remove the starter to remove the
solenoid. The problem is the copper disc and the terminals are lumpy from
metal transfer and possibly corrosion and can be removed and cleaned up. On
the other hand, what's a new solenoid cost?

28 Wellcraft whose port engine will not start unless one pounds on it with
a hammer. I am told that this is due to a stuck solenoid. I was told I
would need a rebuilt starter or a new solenoid. Who is right and is this
information acurate? Thanks, Bill Fletcher.
