Went to go to the Thunder Bay Car Show in Alpena yesterday,,I haven't even started the bug since last wknd(rained on the way Home), so yesterday it decided to not start
just a click,, I thought water got in the starter somehow?
pulled rear fender& apron (easier to get to)swapped starter with the auto starter off the test stand,,Not even a click,,
swapped Battery,, nope
Grrrr,, put IMI starter back in,, at least it was clicking
tried to jump with a screw driver @ the starter Very small spark ,, should of had a big spark????
I have a 50 amp breaker in the back seat area, eliminated that,, still nothing
WTF?
I have a safety On/Off Master switch above rear fender ,Eliminated that Too
Well It ended up being the "Frankenstein ' charging jacks ,as soon as I eliminated that it fired right up ,, , will pull inter panel later to fix later
,,
I was kind of speeding to get to the Show,, 70+mph w/boost a few times to pass a few car & trucks ,,
32 miles and it took 2 gal. of fuel
I was the ONLY Bug but their was a few 'Kit' MG replica's Great show Right On the Thunder Bay, 'Lake Huron ' one of our Great lakes
