Intermittent Failure of Starter to Work

I am not experienced nor familiar with your vehicle, but... The problem you describe is not uncommon. There could be several causes, and without personally doing a "hands-on" troubleshooting" of your vehicle, NO ONE here can be sure of the specific defect or cause.

Based on your description of symptoms, I suspect that the cause may be either:

  • A defective starter solenoid, IF mounted on the starter,
  • Worn out bearings, or bushings, inside the starter,
  • A severe accumulation of carbon dust [from wear of the "brushes" on the commutator [contacts] inside the starter.
  • A worn out "Bendix" gear on the starter which engages the teeth on the flywheel,
  • Misalignment of the starter in relation to the ring gear on the flywheel.

There probably are other possible causes, but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment. Good luck.

How do you set the time on a Jimi clock?

I finally figured this one out. You've got to use the point of a pen, and then push repeatedly on the function you want to set. After repeatedly pushing the time set button with the point of a pen, I finally got the hour display to flash. With the hour flashing, I repeatedly pushed the down arrow button with the point of a pen. After many pushes, I managed to get the hour to decrease by an hour. I then had to repeatedly push (with the point of a pen) the time set button for it to cycle through the various functions to return it to normal operation. Good luck with this one. It really is a pain to set.

What does it mean when you dream of drowning someone repeatedly?

That you are trying to push memories of that person out of your life. That you are not aware of how profoundly that person affected you and that your trying to forget the damage they did to you. And you can forget and process the information and accept it and move on. You don't have to hold on to the hurt and pain they caused you and you can finally breathe.
