I have a 1992 brendella with a 351. The starter solenoid sticks every now and then. I have purchased 2 new solenoids and they only work a couple of times and they stick on permanently! My dealer that is 2 hours away doesn't know what the problem is and told me to bring it in. Any help would be aprreciated. |

Are they getting excessively hot do to location? If so, you might try relocating them in a cooler area, and possibly insulating them.
I had a race car that did that all the time. Insulating the heat source cured the problem.

I don't think its excessively hot. It did it once right when I pulled it off the trailer. It's like the starter is using too much juice or something. It doesn't turn over hard or anything. |

On second thought, maybe the key switch is keeping the thing energized. My RV usesd to do that at times.

I checked that to...Just wondering if it is some kind of special solenoid. Orignal one says diode resistor on the side and the other ones don't. I asked the dealer about that and they told me that is the correct one for my boat. Thanks for the help |
