Now that the weather is getting nice in the Seattle area and the continuous
deluge of precipitation has subsided, I find that my starter is taking a
vacation on me.
I still have my original starter on my '79 MGB which has 115k miles on it. I
am amazed that the starter has lasted this long. The problem is that sometime
swhen I turn the Key, The starter will not engage. What I assume is happening
is that the solenoid is not engaing the gear to the flywhell to crank the
engine. I was so bold as to turn the key with the car still in gear and
nothing happened. I can hear the starter turning but the engine doesn't crank.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Would I be better off just replacing the whole starter? Who has the cheapest
starter and how do I get in touch with them?
Thanks
Terry Cox
