[Mgs] 1975 MGB Starter Motor

[Mark Robinson]

I will weigh them tomorrow and report back.

Paul..the new motor  comes with a y control cable going to one spade 
connector on the new motor.  One wire (red)  has a diode  which supplies 
the 12v to the coil when cranking. It goes to the green white wire.  The 
diode prevents the ballasted 12v from the coil from backfeeding the 
starter motor solenoid. The other wire (black)  goes to the brown white 
starter relay wire.  It is described here.
