Starter relay
Remember the problems I had with starting last year, and the year before that?
Well, one of the reasons that was suspected, was the starter relay (or solenoid, as some people call them). I got a used one from Ebay and put it on. Seems to work ok.
Now, here’s the old one: (or rather, what’s left of it)
Those contacts don’t seem to be pretty normal, what do you think? Think of the current flowing through here, when trying to start? There’s quite a lot of resistance right there lowering the voltage, and combined with the problems in the starter end, no wonder it didn’t want to start sometimes.
Hopefully all is ok now.
