Great, yeah that is an old trick.  We would take our starter solenoids apart and turn the copper washer and copper contact bolt 180° for fresh surfaces.  Love those old school fixes!

Stony I have a late in the year 51 CJ3A. I bought a rebuild kit and switch....but got a great tip from the Old Willy's forum to push down and rotate the solenoid 180 degrees....dead to driving that quick. Thank you for responding :) !

Which starter?  The early with the mechanical plunger and the bushing in the bellhousing or the later with the enclosed nose?

First a confession. My starter went out in 2017 and I am now just getting around to fixing it and have not been involved in the new board Now with that off my embarrassed chest can I please get some perspective?

When the starter failed...I started the Jeep perfectly. My son and wife drove it to the grocery store. When they came out of the store.. the starter peddle would not engage..when you push down and nothing no turnover. The spring is newer and completely fine. Thoughts? Plenty of home time now to get it going...that is a plus right?

Be well all!

Thank you so much!
