Reply to "Hot Starts are Hard"

I have/had this problem on my Ferrari Testarossa. Problem was due to the starter solenoid getting hot. The starter on a my 12 cylinder is on top of the motor and is subject to alot of heat. I would take a rag & get it soaking wet & wrap the soaked rag around the solenoid. After a few minutes. Car would fire right up. the tolerances of the piston inside the solenoid housing were very "Close" & the heat would cause the piston to expand & "stick". As an experiment, & for your own piece of mind, try this "trick" on your solenoid, you might find that this is your problem......Mark.
