Holywood says this works perfect!
given: click-clicking solenoid, but no zoom-zzzzoom from the starter
required tools: a hammer and a firm stick; or two hammers
solution: place one end of the stick (or the butt-end or the hammer-head of the second hammer) onto the solenoid and give it two solid kicks with the hammer. Then, use your ignition key to finally crank your baby up in the way described in the owner's manual.
Repeat if necessary.
Zig
N.B.: FWIW, I do not like Armageddon movie at all and especially those scenes with mordor cosmonaut when he is fixing all the stuff with his hammer. I much prefer oscilloscopes and micrometers to hammers.
