you can actually remove that copper washer and flip it over,
and presto you have a new starter solinoid.
clean up the screw contacts, form the power wires.

Hopefully thats not the issue. The starter is about 1 month old. 99% of the time the motor fires right up even when its cold. I mean turn the key and BAM, its fired up.
