[Healeys] Starter problem

[David Porter]

Peter at Worldwide rightfully posted that the starter solenoid contacts go
bad and there is a kit for them.. Contact peter at Worldwide automotive.

PS the battery shows good voltage but, does it load test OK? Oh,I suspect if
the horns and lights are functional it's probably OK.. never mind

Subject: [Healeys] Starter problem

Started a new thread to avoid the moderator issue.



Further update.The battery is putting out 12.6 volts without the engine
running. I connected up the all the contacts on the FIA switch (hopefully
correctly). All lights, indicators, horn etc are working fine.

 All I get now when I push the starter button is one single click and
nothing. Its like when you have a flat battery.

 Is there a way I can test the starter?

 The solenoid does not have the push button

 Does it matter which way the ignition switch is wired??
 BTW. The ignition switch I have appears to be totally unfit for purpose in
the sense that it is virtually impossible to make a good connection when
trying to put two wires into the very small space available under the
screws.
