Hi Listers,
After lurking here for way too long I would ask for your help. I have a
somewhat original (built 56 for 57) 100~6 Longbridge built (despite the lack of
crease in the hood) Healey that I tend to start up in the garage every few
months if I have not gone for a drive. This is a California car so I really
don?t have the ordinary excuses not to drive like ice & snow. Car is garaged
always and I have not started her in a few months, but last time she fired
right up.
Yesterday I went to the garage (I should add battery is on a tender and is
good), hit the starter and silence ? nothing ? I mean NOTHING. I turned the key
and heard the sweet sound of the SU fuel pump go tick, tick, tick ? tick ??
tick ?? then stop (which is good). Lights go on ? indicators work, horn works ?
Where should I start ? can a switch just go bad in a few months just sitting
after firing right up a few months ago? Fuses are good, leads are in, earth
switch is on, etc.
Should I just crawl under the dash and pull the starter and ?start? there with
the multimeter ? or is there somewhere else I should investigate.
I appreciate all your input and replies!
Rohan
