Hello,
I have been a lurker on the list for a while and thought I would break the
surface to get a breath and ask a question or two.
First the question and then a little about my history with Triumphs!
I tried starting the car a while ago and when it failed to turn over
completely on the first try I tried again and this time nothing happened.
The battery is fine and the points are set. Does the wisdom of the list
think the problem lies with the starter or the solenoid? It is like no
power is getting to the system, not even a click.
Now the history.
I have a 1958 TR-3A (In fact it is the same car that graces the front cover
of the TRF Glove box companion) This car was owned by Bob Schaller (author
of "More B.S. about TR's" and is on the cover of his book) until his death
last year. I feel fortunate to have this car since the back cover of Bob's
book has a picture of Bob and his friend Ken Richardson standing in front
of the car! I am going to prep the car to run ASRA (Arizona Sports Racing
Association) and maybe VARA.
When I was in college in 1984 I had a 57 TR-3 (a picture of this car is on
the home page of our club's webpage (http://www.microworks.net/dctra) and
my dad had a TR-6. Back when I was a young tyke in the early 70's while we
were living in Lexington, Kentucky my dad had a TR-3B.
Thanks for any advise!
Dave R.
