[Healeys] Starter motor query

[Paul Leeks]

Hi all

I having a bit of trouble starting the Healey.

When I press the starter button, I just get the dull click which is then
followed by a clunk when I release the button. Eventually the car starts,
but it usually takes about five or six goes.  Apart from being a bit
annoying, I'm worried that I may be doing damage to the starter motor?

The battery is fully charged and I have removed, cleaned and re-tightened
all the connections to the battery, relay switch and starter motor.
 (During which I inadvertently shorted the two heavy duty cables that
connect to the relay which did turn the engine over ... I then remembered
to disconnect the battery :-)

Any thoughts on what I should try next?

Many thanks
