[Healeys] Starters

[Oudesluys]

Check the battery terminals, earth strap first. Than check the contacts 
of the starter relay. After that check/renew the brushes and skim the 
commuter or have the starter rebuilt.
Also apply a drop of oil regularly on the bearings (who does?).
Gear reduction starters sounds like a good idea initially but I hear a 
lot of stories about mediocre durability. Anyway the old starters did a 
good job for 45+ years so why change.
