J/30 Class Association Forums J/30 Forum The Boat, Sails and Equipment Warm starting problem. Anyone run into this problem ?

It may be that the solenoid on the starter swells when it is warm and drags enough to keep it from making contact because there is less power available from the starter button from line loss, than there is on a jump. There is a Brazilian solenoid that costs a lot less than the Japanese one. A good starter shop should know about that.
