Does anyone know a source for the Bosch solenoids used on the Fulvia starter motors?

Ralph, I've had new ones sitting on the shelves stick. Have you tried squirting some CRC Electric parts cleaner in where the plunger is? You can bench test it then, Google "bench test Starter solenoid".

Rick,

I sprayed some white lithium grease to no avail. I had it apart and it clicks nicely when the spring is off but seems not to have enough power to overcome the spring. I'll give the contact cleaner a try.
