Good point from Paul on chattering vs. clunk. Sammy II (the current
Sammy) suffered from chattering - solution, a new starter. Sammy I (the
original) suffered the clunk - the solonoid was activating, but not
moving QUITE far enough to close the electrical connection to make the
starter spin. If I simultaneously held the key turned, and gave the
solonoid a decent thud, it would leap into life; this is JUST possible
with gorilla-like arms (which I luckily have) and a long stick (which I
kept handy in the car). I suspect that needed a new solonoid; I never
found out 'cos the problem arose just before she was rear-ended and
deemed "beyond economical repair" :-(
Hope you sort it,
Richard & Sammy ('73 Black Tulip BGT)
