[Healeys] Starter electrical problem not solved with new starter. Gremlins?

[David Nock]

Bad connection at one of the battery cables or battery switch. 

Turn on the headlights and leave them on for about 15 minutes. Then go around and touch the battery and ground cable connections. You will find one that is warm.  Voila there is your bad connection.

Listeners:

 

You may recall my comments about the High Torque starter which would go zap and cause the entire electrical system to go dead.  My two friends are much more knowledgeable than I and could not figure out why.   Eventually I discovered if you take off the battery ground and leave it off for a few minutes, then reconnect, viola the electrical system comes alive again. The fuel pump hums, the lights go on, the horn blows.  Unfortunately, when you engage the starter zap goes the starter. We took the starter off the car and bench tested it. We tested the positive cable from the battery solenoid, the ground, all connections and so on. Same problem.

 

 

I got a new starter from WOSP and installed it.  Same problem.  The noise is always in the starter.

 

We are stumped IDEAS??
