Subject:Stuck Solenoid????

Greetings all, today my van would not turn over even though it has PLENTY of
power. My mechanic is suggesting a stuck Solenoid and swapping out a starter
will fix it, can I get your thoughts?

Symptoms: often there is a delay from turning the ignition switch to when
the engine begins to turn over there is always plenty of power, but one or
two seconds goes by before the engine begins to turn.

Lately it has gotten worse to the point of the van not starting at all.

Battery is new, alternator is new, the van is an 87 Westy.
Thanks all!!!
- Steve
