Hi,

Back in February I had to replace the ignition on my '74 1/2 BGT.  A month
after that I hopped in the car after running some errands and turned the key
and...  Nothing.

Hours later and voltmeter in hand I to test tried again and it started right
up. So, I put away the voltmeter...

A few weeks later it happened again, but I had to travel so I had it towed
to my local MG shop.  They checked out the ignition, starter, battery,
battery conns and relays, and could find nothing wrong. The owner of the
shop suggested that if it happens again I should bump the starter or try and
roll start it to see if there was dead spot in the starter.

Two months go by without problems and last week it started again.  I could
bump or roll start it.  And it only did it when the car was hot.  If I let
it sit for a while it'd work.

So starter right?

Put a new one in.  Same problem.

Anyone else experience this?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Scott
