A famous cause of "nothing" is loose electrical screws on the firewall.
These little guys loosten and need retightening on my car. Check them all
over the car and you can eliminate a few of those strange electrical
problems these cars are famous for.
Having pulled it apart, check for the ground strap. Also check that the
ground strap is making contact. They often get blocked with too much paint
under the contact point.

Subject: Nothing
I have my rebuilt starter on. I used my MGA battery and bypassed
the Healey batter by running jumper cables directly to cables on car.
I got a brief weak turnover. Now NOTHING. No lights either.
I checked the ends of jumper cables off the car and getting good voltage
reading 12.35v. When I hook them to car I get very little if anything.
My ground strap is hooked from frame to block. My fuses look good.
Any other suggestions? Could my starter solenoid/switch play any part if
bad? I have cleaned connections over and over.
Any tests you could recommend?
Car sat for a few months for flywheel switch. Ran fine before.
Now one carb is spewing gas as well.
Urgh.
Sorry if you get this twice. I do not see it in my sent file on Hotmail.
Thanks,
Scott
