An MHD computation of a restarting jet is presented and compared with observations of classical double radio sources. Assuming ideal MHD and an adiabatic equation of state, it is found that a “partial” jet exists for about 25% of the time, and that the terminal hotspot dissipates quickly compared to other physical time scales once the outflow of the jet is terminated.
