1979 3208 Starter and Solenoid

[Henry Claeys]

Robert. The bus is parked in a remote area where a stay over a day is
problematic. If I could arrive with a working starter, and solenoid,
then I could conduct the repair relatively rapidly and move the bus to a
more convenient service area. So I still need leads on how to locate a
new, used, or rebuilt starter and solenoid. I really appreciate your
tips though, and thanks for your help. Henry@... and at

Henry - some times I had to loosen the exhaust on the starter side to
get the starter off. Then I made a long extension to get the rear
inboard bolt out of the starter. Most any starter shop that deal with
trucks can rebuild it. I almost bought a rebuilt spare and the owner who
bought my 78 FC 31 did get one before he went to Costa Rica in it.
