    Having just installed my new motor with my used RobMC starter I bought off a board member, I had a slight snafu. As I was tightening down the starter positive wire, I managed to strip it. I was using a lock washer and it never fully compressed it.

    Luckily, I was able to remove all washers and get it to tighten down with just enough pressure to hold for a few test drives.

    Now I'm worried it will leave me stranded at a time not of my choosing. Anyone know where I can get a replacement solenoid or what other options I might have? If the big bolt stripped, I didn't think tapping it for the next size down would be too smart or solid. If I had a used solenoid, I could swap the bolts. As a poor college kid when my starter would just click in the old days, we'd take them off and rotate the bolt 180 to get a fresh contact point. Save $10 for a new solenoid for 20 minutes of laying on your back.
