Hi All,
After some pointers on an embarrassing (for the wife not me) starting issue.
Turn the key - starter motor spins, but no start. Takes random variations of the below to actually get it to fire up. :-
Wiggle of gear stick.
In Gear foot on clutch, foot off fuel.
In Gear foot on clutch, foot on fuel.
Out of gear, foot off clutch, foot off fuel.
Out of gear, foot on clutch (yes i know), foot off fuel.
Out of gear, foot on clutch (yes i know), foot on fuel.
And sometimes as last resort:-
In gear, foot off clutch, off fuel - generates a stall, but will start on next turn over.
New battery and motor supplied.
I think the record s far is ~ 10 attempts on variations of above.
 
Sounds like the bendix is not engaging the flywheel, unless you mean that the engine turns over and it doesn't start ? o_O
 
Thanks guys.
your advice seems bang on, and despite being unable resist the urge to wiggle things about I guess tottot is correct.
