Starting Problems

[amweath]

Quite often I am unable to srart my coach ('85 PT36) from the front
position. When that happens I have been able to start from the rear
position.

The first thing I suspected was the rear toggle switch. That has been
eliminated as has the anti theft switch on the dash. If I disconnect
the wires from the a/t switch I can see 12v coming from the front
ignition sw. when turned to the 'start' postion. I can also see the
ground coming from the starter ckt. solenoid on the other wire. So it
appears I have good circuitry.

This problem seems to happen when the batt. voltage is below 12v.
If I start the generator, with the increase in voltage I can start it
normally from ther front.

Could I have a weak solenoid? Where is this solennoid located?

Located in the 'files' section is a diagram of the start circuit for
my coach. This is what I've been working from.
