Yup, probably the starter solenoid getting sticky. Solution 1: change the starter. Solution 2: take the starter out, take it apart, clean the parts , new lithium grease, and Bob's yer uncle! Piece o' cake!

The common starter screech immediately came to mind. I'm starting to think they all do it. Both of mine do occasionally. I'm guessing that's what you're hearing.

Be sure to disconnect the battery before beginning the repair.

Definitely one of the easier jobs. I had to purchase the 18" extension for my 15mm socket. I of course thought that wasn't needed and tried from the top. What a mistake, I started accidentally yanking hoses out and removing hoses and I still couldn't get the bottom bolt off.
If you follow pelican's instructions it's straightforward.
