Yep....happens a lot. VERY common on the 914s, less so on the 356s and 911s......MOST times if ya bang on the solenoid it will free it up and start right up.

Replacing the starter with a rebuild does not always help....."I" have pulled the solenoid and lubed it and it corrected the problem. Others use what is called a "hot start" kit.....it supplies more juice at start up.....band aid effect though.
