Those solenoids are flaky. The one on our 73 seems to have problems as well, about 50% of the time, the motor will spin and not engage to the flywheel. But that seems to go away, AND does not sound like the same problem...

While you are there, make sure that the cables are not about to pull out of the terminals- that will cause more problems than you can think. Most of the ones on the solenoid are easy to replace- the battery one can be a pain since it's such a big cable.

Don't be afraid to lightly pull the wires to see if the connection comes apart- if it does, then it was bad anyway.
