[Chevelle-list] Re STARTER

[Pelle Andersson]

The mini starter solenoid requires more juice which the original ignition 
switch can't
deliver. I don't know if it's due to deterioration over the years or if it's 
just simply too weak?

Usually it gets worse over time, making it "miss" more and more.
At least that's the experience me and my friends have had!

I really recommend to always use a relay between the ignition switch & the 
starter.
Often it helps an original starter suffering from "heat stroke" too, since 
when wires
and stuff gets hot they require more current, making the ignition switch 
choke and
in worst cases act like a fuse.
