Starter Problem 340

I had the same problem with our 50 Chrysler. Turned out to be the starter solenoid mounted on the stater. The large steel electro-magnetic plunger would hang up from a weak magnetic field after the solenoid was turned off (magnetic sticking). Solved it by placing a THIN piece of rubber on the end of the plunger (makes a magnetic gap that will not hold the plunger)- PS the 50 Chrysler has a neat way of preventing you from starting a running motor-they ground the starter solenoid through the generator so once the engine is running the generator is no longer ground and the solenoid can't engage!
