About 3 or 4 times every summer when I start my 79 Midget, the car
starts, but the starter does not disengage. What I've been doing is
shutting the car off and trying again until it starts normally. I don't
work on the car myself, but I take it to a garage that specializes in
MGs, and they have never been able to find anything wrong with it, or at
least cannot recreate the problem. Since I only drive the car for 3
months each year, and this only happens a few times each summer and it's
never left me stranded anywhere, I haven't bothered to look into the
problem any further. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?
Is it something in the ignition, or a problem with the starter, or
something else entirely?
