This sounds very much like a poor earth problem. This is common around the rear light clusters (and not just on Spitfires - ever followed a car whose brake lights dim rhythmically instead of the ind

If you've got no electrics at all, I can't think of a better approach than to start right at the beginning - the battery. The +ve lead from there goes to the solonoid, so check for a live there, the
