[Healeys] Starter Problems BJ8

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

Hi Kees,
can I send you the starter solenoid to take apart and repair? I have two or
three of them and do not find the clue how to take them apart.

Check, clean and refit the battery connections, use a bit of petroleum jelly
to avoid future corrosion. Also check the earthing strap and its connections,
again clean and apply petroleum jelly or just plain rust preventive wax.
Perhaps the starter solenoid contact points are burned. Take apart, inspect,
clean and if to far gone repair the contact points with silver solder and
file/sand until the complete surface of the points make contact when closed.
Did this many times as a student when the budget was very, very low.
Alternatively throw away and buy a new one.
