[TR] 62 TR4

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Are you referring to the ignition switch?  I had to replace the switch on my TR6.  It would cut out at speed on the highway and I had to wiggle it to restore power to the coil and make it go again.  Meantime the exhaust would fill with unburned air/fuel mixture and when the power was restored "BANG."
Oh, and the overdrive would drop out making matters all the worse.

I got in it and no power nothing.  I put my hand under the switch and pushed on the wires, then it started up and ran.  Yesterday again no power.  We pushed the car across the alley and over a few bumps into my driveway.  Then it had power.  Does it sound like the switch is bad?  Likely it’s the original switch.  The car did sit for 25 years in a warehouse before I got it about 10 years ago.  Should I get another switch?  Try to repair the existing?  Maybe take it apart (can I do that?) and clean it?  Anyone run into this?** triumphs at autox.team.net **
