The relay is mounted on the upper fender, not on the starter.
It was about 9 degrees F outside. When I restarted it, it worked fine. I let motor warm up and shut off engine and re-cranked engine about 7 times and it works fine every time.
So is the problem with the relay? Or could some of the wires connected to the relay been shorted out? Or did the starter just fail to retract the starting gear?
The only thing I did to cause it to stop was turn the nut that connects the battery cable to the relay. In turning it 1/2 turn the other wires connected to that terminal also moved.
If it was with the starter solenoid, then why did moving wire on relay stop it?
