We replaced an existing mini starter with a new Hitachi mini starter using a remote solenoid. . .
PROBLEM: Starter would not disengage after starting engine for a few seconds?? We shimmed inside, outside, overall, filed edges on ring gear but nothing would work.
SOLUTION: Studied other posting, manufacturers instructions and came to conclusion that having jumper from " B" terminal on remote solenoid to " S" terminal on starter solenoid is INCORRECT. Wiring should be " S " terminal on remote solenoid to " S " terminal on starter solenoid... SOLVED PROBLEM..
REASON: Ignition switch shut off has enough delay working THROUGH solenoid rather than instantanous shut off from key ignition switch on " S " terminal. Might be reverse EMF magnetism from starter itself holding up solenoid disconnet or just mechanical time delay in remote solenoid spring pushing contacts open... Just changed wire location.. HORRAY .. THERESA
