HELP.....Once started the car runs great BUT getting it to start is a real pain. If I coast and pop the clutch it starts immediately. Any suggestions :square:
 
Battery voltage? Bad ground?

Usually ya can't get yer hand off th' key fast enuff if the iggy circuit is in good nick.

More detail, Ron!! Points in good trim?
 
Hi Doc,

I have been working on it and you are right. It was the battery cable to the starter solinoid. VERY rusty.

Thanks for your help, Ron
 
Sheesh.

You KNOW better! :jester:
 
Doc,

Actually I do....

My wife decided that she was tired of my complaining about how hard the B is to start.... sooo, she took it upon herself to post this question.... I was in the garage working on the B wrestling with the battery cable at the time...
