You ain't had a shovel run away with a stuck starter...well you haven't spent a great deal of time working on shovels. Nothings really changed on an original barn find. Fast forward 27 years. Or more. Its the same bike. Anyway, I"m heading back to my usual forum. You guys have fun.

So...if the fu#king starter sticks from sitting you can just unhook the vice grips instead of watching the wires melt while you search for bolt cutters. Just trying to help. Shovel's are on their own page. If your not familiar, it can get a little rough. Have fun.

Here is one found at Dennis Kirk's. Will it work for Shovel 84 model. Marion does this look like yours? With shaft inside solenoid?
