Greetings, new member here. Have been reading the forum for some time trying to get rid of DW. Recently, I've found that I get weaker and weaker starting, until the starter won't even turn at all, and the solenoid doesn't click. I had the battery tested, it was not too bad, but I bought a new battery anyway, installed it, and it started strongly. Starts got progressively weaker, until it failed to turn over again. Disconnected battery and cleaned off wires and contacts leading to starter/solenoid. Re-connected battery, started fine. Starts got progressively weaker again, until it wouldn't even turn over. Tried something new--just disconnected the battery, waited 30 seconds, re-connected the battery, and it fired right up! Started it up about 10 times in fairly quick succession, starts got weaker and weaker until it wouldn't turn over. Disconnected and re-connected the battery, started right up. Any help appreciated.
