Smile starter or solonoid????????

next time it gets hot and will not start, jump the solonoid out. Use a large piece of wire (about a foot long) or metal and jump from the hot side to the starter side of the solonoid. This will prove if it's the starter or the solonoid. If the cable is hot, it's to small. You need number 2 awg fine stranded wire (#2 awg). Welding lead works great. I use crimp on lugs because I have the correct crimper for the job and soldier melts at 600 degrees. I have seen soldier joints that have melted.
