its a very common starter - the solenoid connection is actually two windings, one is the pull and one is the hold coil one is grounded from the commutator and one is grounded from the body of the solenoid.

If any one fails the starter seems to disengage whilst cranking - happened on a 1.6D VW starter with me - very similar to MB starter and i replaced the solenoid. I also had to replace the overrun clutch as it was bad too.
