Default Starter?

My truck just recently started having trouble turning over, got a brand new battery still same problem, Maybe its the starter? I just got it rebuilt over the summer so I dont know. Truck runs fine after its started, even plugged in it starts hard, fuel isnt gelling. Any ideas guys and girls? I need some help!

They make an updated contact that should fix your problem. Somebody else should know the name of it. I'm haveing a brain fart at the moment.

Starter contacts!!!! You can get them online from fostertruck.com I ordered 2 sets the other day. I think they are about $25 for a set. Ordered them on Monday and got them on Wednesday. This should fix the sticking problem.

Its important to fix the starter contacts or it can backfeed 12V and burn up your fuel shutdown solenoid. Common problem for sure.
