Subject: [FlyRotary] Starter Problem

Tommy,
My son and I both had Geo Prizems did the exact same thing-a rebuilt starter
fixed them both, not the contactor.  Could be either, or a lose connection.
Did you grease the battery terminals good before you put the cables on?  If
you did, that's your problem.  Go back and clean both cables and battery
connecting surfaces surgicly clean, make the connection, then grease them if
you must.
