My 75 is finally home and seems to be running fine with still a bunch of body and suspension work to do. It was hard to start but now it starts after about three tries. But sometimes it won't turn over at all. Not a battery problem and it seems if I pull the key a little while starting it will catch. Is this a starter issue or ignition switch? My preference would be the cheapest of the two...
Thanks, Rick |

Relays aren't necessary. That's what the starter solenoid is after all. But I give, all the people say how you need to offload the current from the starter switch, yada yada yada. I don't care what camp you subscribe to, I would just plead that you find the REAL problem before just putting a band aid relay over it.
