I might try smacking the solenoid today (if I can reach it).

I usually buy the best, but right now I am struggling financially and trying to get out of debt. I just paid off my two $300 credit cards and am trying to get caught up on back rent owed. Every time I get my head above water I end up having to spend hundreds on another part for my car.

I also didn't want to have to order a starter and wait days for it to arrive, as I had to be to work Monday morning. Schuck's had one in stock.

At least the starter bolts won't be rusted into the starter this time, though it would be nice if a previous owner had used the right size hex key.

Maybe I can borrow my roommate's fintail to get to work if I have to. If I have to use a credit card to purchase a starter I am going to be very sad.
