[Healeys] Intermittent OD problem

[John Spaur]

When I check it electrically, everything works although I have not checked in a year. This issue started about a year ago. I will checking it in a couple of weeks when I install new carbs and take care of some other small items. I have been using 30 weight non-detergent. I use 20/50 in the engine. John

Could be solenoid overheating...drawing about 8 amps- it gets hot and won't function.Do the test on section G12 in the workshop manual to discover any electrics problems.

 

Don't want to bring up the oil issue again, but what oil you are using could be a factor. Hank

When the car is cold the OD will work fine. However, once warmed up if I turn it off and then switch it on, it will not reengage. What could be wrong?
