[6pack] Starting Problem 1976 TR6

[Robert Lang]

Hi Dennis,
If the starter motor does not turn when the key twists all the way clockwise, it suggests that the voltage / current is not getting to the solenoid. You should verify that you get 12 volts to the big terminal on the started when you twist the key. If not, there's voltage drop from the battery and the problem could be your positive battery cable or connection at the battery. If the voltage does not change, then verify 12 volts to the small connection on the starter. This should only energize when the key is twisted all the way clockwise. If you get 12 volts there when the key is on the start position, then the solenoid is bad because it is not allowing current to flow through the solenoid to the starter motor. Note that there should be faint click at the starter when the solenoid is energized.
In some cases, you can tap the starter and or the the solenoid and the starter will start working properly. Note that there is a large cable with full battery power connected to the starter, so use a non-conductive device so you don't short things and start a fire.

1976 TR6 – “Always” starts the first time. The last few times I started it, it balked.  I finally figured out that it won’t start while the key is turned but as I release the key, it starts.  Starter solenoid? Thanks.
