That is funny right there.

My 911 had the same problem. It would work fine in town even on very hot days. Only on long trips after several hours it would just lock up when completely heat soaked. I had the great fortune to be parked right in front of the Hershey Hotel with a huge crowd trying to check in and my starter locked up. The good news is there were several people there to push start me.

I bought a replacement Bosch starter and that solved the problem. However the Bosch reman starters are a POS. It started haveing problems engaging the flywheel. I had the old one rebuilt. The guy said it was dry inside and it would be fine. My first long trip proved that was not true. I had the reman starter back to the shop for a new solenoid. Swap it back on and no hot start problem. It started haveing the same solenoid problem.

Since my engine is out right now I put the high torque starter from Pelican on it. I will scream if I have any more problems. I havee two Bosch starters I can sell!
