It's starting (pun intended) to do the clicking thing, where most of the time it starts, but then will just click, and I have to release and hit it again until it grabs. Assuming it's the solenoid. Are these things repairable, or are they basically throw away? I guess the issue too is I would have to get it out, find the problem, and then order the part if it is. Might be a bit of a time crunch to get that done and make it to spring fling.

Mick you can order the plunger but in the mean time pull it and open up the solenoid , you'll probably see it's pitted , clean it up and that may be all it needs?

God forbid you have the repair a cable connectors at the battery as they are notorious for your exact issue www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

Had a similar issue on the direct drive starter my 64 300 had. Ended up flipping the copper disc around and all was good.
