Sorry Charlie, I shouldn't have asked in the middle of someone else's thread.

I love a happy ending, and this one just keeps getting better! First, I want to express my gratitude to everyone, especially Charlie and Roy.

This is my second 2007 Norge, and neither of them started as swiftly as this one does now. While I had concerns about the new starter fitting, since it is 3/4 inch longer than the original OEM Bosch made in Hungary back in 2006, I decided to take the leap based on Charlies recommendation.

I just returned from a short test ride, and I’ve completed six starts—each one incredibly fast and powerful. Whether it’s the new starter or the upgraded relay to spade re-wiring,(Roys recommendation)  I’ve never experienced such quick starts with any Norge before! Gone are the days of letting go of the button while it continues to run on through the ECU. It starts instantly now! Hope is alive. Let’s see how this journey unfolds long into the future.
