Hello All,

I'm having an intermittent starter issues with our lift (C500-40). Last year the starter was intermittently spinning very fast like it wasn't engaging. That problem was with a rebuild. Now the new issues it that sometimes it just won't spin. When you turn the the key you can hear the starter relay click but no noise from the starter itself. It might sit for a day or two and then suddenly starter working. I'd love to give the thing a good wack like I used to do on my jeep but there's just not enough room for that. The battery is good and charged. What's the best way for me to proceed with testing things? Could this just be a wiring issue? Is it possibly just an issue with the solenoid? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyler
