Perhaps nothing more than a corroded connection that you are partially cleaning up when removing the lead which then fails when the load is appklied. Try a new heavy cable with clean fittings and go directly from battery negative to ground, bypassing the shutoff switch.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Best--Michael Oritt</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 4, 2022 at 5:11 PM Bob Begani via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Listeners:<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">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.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I got a new starter from WOSP and installed it.
