Pulled the starter and swapped out the solenoid for the D992 today. Works great now and sounds a lot stronger when cranking. Before I reinstalled the starter I wrapped the solenoid with some heat blocking insulation blanket material, held on with a couple wire ties. I never realized just how close that solenoid was to the ram-air exhaust manifolds. No wonder they cook!

Glad to hear that the solenoid worked out for you, Steve!

FYI - better than the heat wrap is one of the solenoid heat shields that PY sells.
