Hi Everyone,
I just removed the suspected faulty starter solenoid.  Interesting job.
Can these be rebuilt ?  Or do I have to find a replacement ?
Ciao,

I think the best thing to do is find a replacement.  I am hard headed and
haven't yet!  I pulled mine off, cleaned it and oiled it (Fred says put it in
dry) and it went about 3 months and stuck again.  So, I pulled it out and
cleaned it and put it in dry (See Fred, sometimes I do listen!) and it stuck
again in 3 months or so.  The third time, I pulled it out, cleaned it and
lubed it Molybdenum Disulfide (Molly B) grease and so far it has lasted past
the 3 month point.  But, when it acts up the next time--Ciao, and a new on is
going in!!
That's a Bosch starter so any rebuild shop should either have the solonoid or
be able to get it for you.
