Try checking if you got spark at all during startup.
I had a similar problem and it was the electric cut off switch in the trunk.
The power to ignition from the switch is seperate from the power to the
starter.
If i put my switch in the outer positions the power to the ignition is bad,
it seems like all got to the starter motor. I just turn it a bit away from
that position and theres is power on both ignition and starter at the same
time.

Subject: [Healeys] starting problem
have noticed the past few months that many times when the starter on the bj8
spins it will not start till i let off the key from the start position.
does not do it all the time, but enough to get me concerned. could this be
a ground problem or corrosion somewhere? starter seems to spin engine at
same speed as before, but it takes longer to start unless i let off the key.
need some ideas on where to start solving the problem. hjim
