Hi ! , No problem , Had the same trouble myself . Sometimes the starter would turn , sometimes not .
The answer is to modify the starter circuit by using the wire that goes to the starter to operate a heavy duty relay connected straight to the battery , the other side straight to the solenoid . This bypasses the flimsy wiring connections trying to operate the solenoid on the starter . Had absolutely no problems starting after fitting this mod . See an electrician to work out the wire dimensions .
