SV: New starter behaving strangely

[Dag Bøsterud]

Erm... this may sound a bit stupid, but I just took it out of the box,
transferred the heat wrapping from the OEM starter to this rebuildt unit,
replaced some wiring that had started to get rotten, and put it back in...

Can you like basically draw me a picture of what you're asking?

Does the solenoid have insulation around it?

Subject: New starter behaving strangely

Replaced the starter on my 1990 Audi 100 Turbo Quattro (MC2-engine) with a
rebuildt unit,

and when I tried to fire the car up, the starter didn't start the car; it
just span like hell.

 

Tried to start a few times more, and on try number eight or ten the car
fired, and ran like it should.

Stopped the car, and back to square one. Now the car starts after the
second, third of fourth try - it varies.

 

My question is; is this just from the starter being "tight", being placed on
the shelf for a long time after being

rebuildt so it will work itself out - or is it a bad rebuild?
