[Fot] Starter Question

[Charly]

Yes, what I under stand is the solenoid isn't `pinched` into the housing very well and it moves a 
little every time you engage it.  The causes one or both wire to the coil to break, we've tried 
resoldering, but they break again.  I have three `broken` on my floor. My starter shop refuses to work 
on them.
