RE: 350 warm start problem

A lot of these problems can be traced to a bracket that goes from the back of the starter to the block. Everyone just throws them away because they are a pain to put on. I went through 12 starters in one year, finally solved when i put this bracket back on. The starter would bind on the flywheel, causing slow starts when warm and unnessary wear on the bindix. You can get them at any GM dealer for $4.20, pn # 3965589

I have had a lot of cars come in with the hot start problem and they were stock with the brace installed. Some even had the heat shield in place. I installed the remote sol. and cured all of them
The problem is, the heat build up causes more resisantce in the sol. and causes voltage drop, thats is why the remote sol. works as it puts more current into the sol.
