Repair a starter solenoid 200 1991

I've not yet had solenoid problems on a Bosch starter. Just slipping drives and a busted planetary gear carrier on the 1.4kW (geared) units.

No time and no money is a killer combination. A compromise might be a local auto electric service. I would trust that approach far beyond anything obtained from Autozone or the like. Or, depending on your parts outlet, you can get rebuild parts for the starters, alternators, and so forth, at retail, just like the rebuilder can at wholesale. Take the starter with you, or get the Bosch number from the housing. Starter problems are so rare among my fleet, a spare from the JY is my approach. (Now why did I go and say that with a foot of snow in the driveway...)
