[Mgs] Starters

[Hans Duinhoven]

Hi Rick,

 

I saw all the earlier replies. 

Still it is good to be sure, that the battery is not low.

My BGT once had a faulty alternator, where there were leaky diodes. 

I measured a continuous current when the engine was shut off and all electricity users also were switched off.

So the alternator has been overhauled and a new diode pack was the solution.

 

I also once had a worn thread where the battery line was connected to the starter solenoid.

This caused poor connections and a click was the result, where the battery was not flat.

A replacement solenoid solved this issue.

 

Hope you can find the solution.

 

Cheers,

Hans

Hey friends,

   Long time, no type.

   Have any of you used the high torque gear reduction starters? If so, happy with them. My E-Type has decided to 'click' rather than start. The classic whack with a hammer hasn't helped. And since it's its an automatic, I can't roll-start it.
