Tim,
Really sounds like a connection issue.  Battery cables, solenoid cables and
the cable at the starter(just had this problem with a friend's MG).  Go from
end-to-end and make sure everything in clean and tight.

It has been a long time since I have had to post a problem so guess I have
been very fortunate.
            Here is the situation. I will do my best to be clear, concise,
but provide details as well. I am having a major starting problem. One of
the few things I never replaced was the starter solenoid. (By the way new
battery installed in October) Called up Moss Motors and purchased a new one.
Installed, turned right over. Two days later, first thing in the morning,
clicks, nothing., actually just like it was before I replaced the solenoid.
Several more attempts, boom, off and running.  Run errands, go here, and
there, not a problem for the rest of the day. Even attend my college board
meeting, that went on for five hours, and when I left at night it was 20
degrees, but it starts.  Next morning, does not want turn over. Several more
clicks, and blast off, yet each subsequent day its gets harder and harder to
start. I did put a new starter motor in 2005, along with ignition switch.
            Any ideas, as I am clueless.
Tim
