<VV> Starter issue ~ used-but-good solenoids ?

[Charlie]

It me be easier swapping out the whole starter than the solenoid, just more
expensive, which is probably why the cheaper solenoid is not available
separately?

Typically paying a mechanic $100 an hour to disassemble it to install the
solenoid would quickly eat up any savings that reusing the starter motor
might save.

However, on a DIY job, it's YOUR time and YOUR money, so maybe used-but-good
solenoids in our parts bins are the cheaper route to take?  

Just curious but how often does the actual starter motor go bad? 

Just my opinion, and I never leave home without it ;>~}

What a revolting development that is! (It is  probably the "bendix"  drive,
not the solenoid.) It is easier swapping out the whole starter than the
solenoid. -Seth

Guys,
I am one of the few who drive a Corvair daily  as my sole car.  The other
night the starter would spin without the  solenoid engaging.  It took
multiple tries until it finally worked  normally.  Since then it has worked
normally.

I don't know  whether I should put a new solenoid this weekend; or chalk it
up to  gremlins.  Any opinions?
Thanks,
Andy K.
