Ian,
What did your local guy say was wrong with the starter? Bob

Greg,

Yup Marelli on mine. I had it rebuilt not too long ago. The problem was
that
 the starter would start but not stop...even when I disconnect the starter
solenoid! Had to be shut off by pulling the main battery wire to the
starter
 itself. I didn't like that.

I took it to a local guy and made sure I told him first that the starter
was
 for a Fiat. Then when I brought it to him I told him it was for a
Loopframe.
 He said that it was very similar and fixed it right up. No problems since
other than the hanging up issue.

Good luck and let us know what you learn.....Ian

 Ok I just pulled the starter and did a loadtest and with no load the
starter is pulling 52 Amps!!! which is well above the 25 it is spec'ed to
pull. We all are talking about the Marelli starter? If I can find some
one around here who rebuilds them I'll take it in and report back if they
found the problem.
