Anyone know where I can buy a replacement Bosch starter solenoid for an SR70X? I have narrowed it down to the solenoid and getting tired of trying to start it muiltiple times before the solenoid works. I have been driving it 8 months or more like this but would like to fix it now since it seem to be slowly getting worse. I don't want to spend the money on a rebuilt starter with just a bad solenoid.

It is the Bosch SR70X with the solenoid on the bottom (due to trap) so I will try and change it out in place without pulling the starter.

Since you are in California and have a couple of excellent rebuilders selling on ebay in your state. Send them an email.

Or take your old starter in and have them true the commutator, change out brushes and bearings if worn. Install a new solinoid.

Probably get all tjhis done for little more than you will pay for a new solinoid elsewhere. Those two shops have excellent feedback. Actually remarkable for being starter and alternator rebuilders.

I would not hesitate to use them and I can be fussy at times. They only use the original vendors solinoids on their rebuilds. Only wish we had firms as competent, ethical and reasonable in our area. Kind of a breath of fresh air.
