[Mgs] Starting Issues

Hi Frank,

Long time since my last visit.
I expect the pump has nothing to do with the starting problem.
Did you look at the starter solenoid high current connections?
On my GT the screw thread was worn on the starter solenoid, so the nut did
not firmly keep all wiring sockets tight to the solenoid.
At this point also the battery wire is connected.
For low current electrics the connection would work, but high starter
solenoid & motor current makes a high tension loss over just a little
resistance already.
I replaced the solenoid and it works fine.

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Hans

Recently replaced the water pump on my MGB LE (1980).  It started and drove
perfectly after that. This morning it would not start and I get a click that
sounds like it is emanating from the ignition relay which was new since I
replaced it last week. The battery is fully charged and all the battery
connections are secure. There are no blown fuses and I am at a total loss as
to where to look next.  Any suggestions from others who may have experienced
similar issues or who might have a clue will be greatly appreciated.
