well I think my winch is on its last legs
after the rebuild it was working fine, haven't used it since as I had no rope on it, today redilled and taped so I could mount the rope, started winding the rope on, got it half way and it stopped......
solenoid just clicked, I tapped the motor and it started working again??? but it kept stopping and would only work when I kept tapping it??
11yrs out of a well used winch is pretty good though I think
