NAA Starter problem

When attempting to start it, the solenoid clicks and squeals a bit but the starter does not crank. This is indicative of past corroded battery terminals. But a cleaning the terminals and even replacing the battery hasn't solved the problem. Also has a new solenoid.

I have discovered this morning that by holding down the starter switch for a few seconds that the electrical connection on the starter gets warm (not hot).

I tried #43 of the 50 tips for N Owners this morning in an attempt "hot wire" it to get it started. Nothing.

What is confusing is that this is an intermittent problem. Two months ago I had the same problem and did a bunch of work - new battery, etc. Also took the starter in and had it tested. The report was that "it spins just fine."

Despite that report, my guess is that it is a starter problem but is looking for expertise beyond mine.

Thanks for the help.

I began with the least expensive solutions and worked my way up to the more expensive. I don"t need to tell you the outcome - it was the most expensive fix that worked. It needed a new starter.

Again, thanks for all your advice.
