Title: Starting problem Post by: JohnFol on August 28, 2021, 07:11:42 PM Morning all, 1 frustrating, intermittent problem that has been there since I got the car.
About 1:3 the starter doesn't turn the engine but suddenly it spins and fires. I highly suspect the starter however... Starter refurbished Alternator refurbished New battery New cables to starter, alternator, fuse box and earth leads New coil (question mark over to-balast or not to-balast) New ignition switch Ignition feeds relay that goes to starter solenoid I tend to leave car on trickle charge so happy battery is not low (also happens if for example I restart after putting petrol in) So, unless something engine / transmission is sticking its symptomatic of a starter. I don't have time to get it retested any time soon and happy to pick up another at Beaulieu nest weekend. Any thoughts, ideas of what else to check?

I would suspect solenoid or feed/ground to the starter Peter Title: Re: Starting problem Post by: JohnFol on August 28, 2021, 10:53:57 PM Thanks Peter. Both things I can test at home

the WOSP unit is a fit and forget solution so avoid another tired unit from Beaulieu Eric Title: Re: Starting problem Post by: JohnFol on August 29, 2021, 11:13:13 AM Eric did you fit the Wosp LMS061 to your spider as they only list Monte..?
