[Healeys] Starter Problem - Update

[Per Schoerner]

I think the instruction is for a negative earth car. Otherwise just swap 
the probes of your meter, or if you have a digital meter it will read 
minus.
However, you say you have a high torque starter. It is possible that you 
are using two solenoids. At least the starter in my car have it's own 
solenoid, which can not be bypassed as far as I remember, so the 
original solenoid should be bypassed when installing this starter. I 
bought mine from "British Starters" on Ebay. I too have noticed from 
time to time a clicking sound and no action from the starter. It's 
probably the contacts in the solenoid that are not closing properly. 
After a couple of attempts it usually springs to life.
