Hi Everyone,

Well...got insurance(245/year at Parish) and will be registering next week.  
Last night I go out to my TR4 and start fiddling with the carbs.  No problem.  
In the process Inotice may fan belt is loose.  I tighten it. Again no problem.

Go to start the car and i get one crank and then a whole lot of electic 
clicks(sound like a relay opening and closing).  Must be the solenoid working.  
No Starter moter whirring.  Just once I'd like to feel good about this car for 
more than a day at a time.  I'd like to enjoy her for at least a week before 
something else breaks on her.

Anyway, is there a method of determining whether the starter is bad.  I rapped 
it ca couple times to no avail.  

Is there any additional installation issues i need to know othewr than the two 
bolts and the one electrical lead.

Lastly, where can these be gotten cheaply.  I have no money left.  It is 
cheaper toi get it rebuilt?  Can it be rebuilt?  Does anyone have one that 
works that they would like to part with?

Thanks for putting up with my sob story and any information on this subjetc is 
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Alan Camhi
'65 TR4
