Hello,
 
I just returned from 30 mile trip in  my TR3.  That the farthest it has 
traveled in 20 years.  I dedicated the ride to the many members of this list 
who have helped me get to this point.
 
Still got some problems thou.
 
When I crank the engine by depressing the button on the soleniod, the engine 
turns freely and powerfully the way it should.   But when I put the key in and 
hit the starter button on the dash board, the engine barely turns over.  
Eventually it will start but sometimes I wonder if it will.
 
 
Also the connection from the battery to the soleniod gets so hot that it is 
impossible to touch.
 
Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks!
