Hello All,
I went out to start the TR 6 after it had sat for several days and, lo, the
battery was dead. I charged it and had to turn the engine a lot to get it
started. Finally it did--and died. No battery again; just a click. I checked the
voltage across poles and it showed about 12v. I've repeated this several times
without driving it enough to really charge the battery and at about 12 v. I get
the same click. We load tested the battery and it's good. My mechanic friend
thinks the problem is the starter solenoid. If it is, here are my questions. Can
I remove the solenoid without removing the starter so that it can be tested?
Looking at the starter, this doesn't seem to be such a big job but I've been
fooled before! Anything I need to watch for?
Can these things usually be rebuilt, if needed, by local non-lbc shops?
Thanks in advance for your help.
