ON the armature issue: Armatures normally last for a long long time. Exception: If you are using out-of-specs carbon brush (too hard), the brushes will "eat" into the armature. Or if you do not replace the carbon brush when its time to replace (there is a marker in the brush itself that indicates when the brushes should be replaced). Beyond that marker, the springs are already exerting too much pressure on the brushes. Or the armature is too dirty at the point of contact with the brushes. Really, there are a lot of reasons for the wear on the armature. (Faulty bearing/s makes it difficult for the armature to turn is another possible reason.)

If you're going to make this statement you need to explain the difference between a regular automotive or lawnmower solenoid and a continous duty solenoid designed for the golf cart application and why the other shouldn't be used.
Nevermind, you shouldn't even suggest that as a solution.
