The starter on my 1979 Cadillac is dragging somewhat during cold cranks (and occassionaly when engine is warm). The car only has 13k miles on it, so I don't think it's from excessive use, but the starter is 32 years old. Just replaced the battery last year, and the alternator and cable/connections are fine.
Can the solenoid cause the starter to drag? The solenoid engages fine, but the starter seems to drag or strain a few seconds before the car cranks.
I may just rebuild it if I can get the parts. Or, what are some recommendations for a remanufactured unit?
