OK...the switch still works in its "on" position just dandy. Could I have dealt the solenoid its death blow by holding
the key in "start" position for three seconds? After removing it last night, it and the starter both appear to be on
their last legs. Rusty connections, beat all to hell, etc. The PO says he went through a couple starters trying to get
the Square running. What would cripple one starter after another?

Last night under the car I tried the ol' screwdriver-across-the posts bit, and got zero response from the starter.

So there should also be tin between the pushrods and the cylinders? Hmmmm...

Thanks,
