The last piece of the puzzle seems to be the solenoid. Does anyone know if the standard solenoid can be replaced with something 'modern', i.e. something available from Supercheap so I can start this thing today??????? http://minisport.com.au/starter-solenoid-all-models |

Are you still using the Gemini starter I put on it? If so, the Lucas one is not needed. The starter has it's own solenoid as it's a pre-engaged one. Beware buying aftermarket Lucas style solenoids, I found they are not reliable. My `Echlin' copy one worked for a week or so then gave up whenever the motor was hot. I fitted a Lucas and all was well. |

Hi Doc, It now (and has for some time) has a hi torque starter. The Gemini one gave up the ghost a while back. |

You would stand a better chance at Repco I'd say. `solenoid' brings nothing up at Supercrap. Isn't the hi-torque one pre-engaged? ie has a small wire to it to it to pull it in? If so just bypass the old original one. Or someone up there must have a good s/h Mini one. I have 1 or 2 here... [edit] If the starter is pre-engaged and you just are using the Mini solenoid to switch the starter solenoid's coil current, use a single headlamp relay instead. SCA would have those. |
