Hello,
when I first start my new '72 TR6, the ammeter pegs far over on the "charge"
side -- literally off the scale. It relatively quickly returns to a normal
state -- ie slight charging. Causes? Comments? Should I do anything?
also, I'm noting that my starter is sometimes reluctant to crank. I haven't
yet done the "clean all the connections" routine. plus, occasionally, it
doesn't engage the ring gear.
on my old '69, the failure to engage problem was solved with a couple of
shims on the starter mounting to line up the gears properly.
any thoughts?
thanks.
Graham
ps: an amusing british car note: I just bought a 1987 Jaguar XJ6 on E-Bay,
which I adore, but it has exactly the same cheesy rheostat for the
instrument lights as used on our Triumphs, combined with the same wimpy
lighting levels for the gauges. I love it!
