    a little suttin extra for your old starter

    This should work most starters. I did it to one of mine and it got that old starter to work like new. If your still running your stock wiring harness this will definatly help. http://www.binderplanet.com/forums/showwiki.php?title=IH+Engine+Hot+Start+Fix++Aussie+Version
