[Healeys] GR8 engine will not turn over after a good run

[Kees Oudesluijs]

Charge the battery!!! and check the dynamo/alternator for its proper 
functioning. Also check the starter relay and the earth strap connections.

212F (boiling point water) is way to high to see on the temperature 
gauge under normal conditions, not to mention 230F. It should be well 
below 190F0-200F depending on your thermostat. It would be wise to check 
the gauge for accuracy. It may be faulty as you do not mention any 
boiling.The actual boiling point of the coolant is higher because the 
anti-freeze/anti corrosion additives and also because of the pressure in 
the cooling system.

> I took my Healey out for a late afternoon run of 40 highway miles. The temperature on the gauge stayed at 212 degrees until driving the last few miles so I switched on the fan which kept the temperature below 230 degrees. Drove the car into the garage and let it idle for a few minutes and turned it off. The temperature was over 230 degrees which is normal. I waited 5 minutes and tried to turn on the engine.  It groaned and suites downed and no electric functions. Since yesterday when turning on the ignition the fuel pump operates, but, when I engage the starter everything shuts down. I checked the 2 fuses and they are fine. Where do I begin to restore starting the engine.
