Re: Starter sticking
I had the same problem. Remove the switch and clean it off with some 400 grit wet and dry sandpaper. Also clean off the contact point on the starter. Once everything is cleaned up and somewhat smooth, the problem should be resolved.
I don't know how often this happens. My car is 12 volts. It only had 330 miles on it when it stuck the first time. Now I have near 900 miles on the car and so far no problem.
The first time I ran into the problem, it was while cranking for a long period with a car that would not restart due to an overheated coil. So, my thinking is if your car is easy to start, it may give the starter switch a better outcome.
