Marv, Im assuming when you say it stops, the starter motor stops and shes not sitting there it turning but no engine rotation or gear teeth chattering correct????? ??which could indeed be a starter drive problem, however if not..... ... If the battery is indeed good as you claim?? it sounds more like a bad connection or possibly a solenoid then any weak starter drive or bendix. First thing I would do is remove,,,,, ,,,clean n wire brush,,,,, ,then reattach each n every battery n starter n ground cable n connection and try her. If its not that or the battery, then I would suspect the solenoid then the starter motor itself in that order. If its not a bad connection (often the case) and when cranking the lights would dim way down badly,,,,, ,, then I suspect its a starter problem,,,,, ,, but if they hardly dim when cranking, then I more suspect a solenoid problem. Check battery, cables, connections, grounds then do the above n you may cure it or at least see if its more likely a bad starter or a bad solenoid. It may be possible to jump around the solenoid to eliminate it as the cause, but thats a high current and potentially bad arcing connection so be carefulllll lll.
