starter button

[Cathelijne]

We still have a problem with starting the Tasmin....
When the engine is cold and when it cuts out and you start it immediately there is no problem. But when you stop somewhere for about 10 minutes (at the gassing station) it fails completely. It begins with a click, but after some tries even the click is gone.
Last week we ran aground and had some help from someone who has a brandnew BMW 7th serie, which has a battery of 70 Ampere. The Tasmin has a battery of 45 (or is it 35?) Ampere. And even then it didn't start immediately.

So we tested the electrical system and found out that the contact has quite a lot resistance. Could a starter button be the solution? If yes, could anyone please explain how to connect this button?

We changed the starter solenoid a few weeks ago, but there is no difference.

The starter button is installed. It's connected between the solenoid of the starter motor and the plus of the battery. It's also possible to start it the regular way (with the contact).

The problem seems to be solved.
