Hi Steve,
I had this with mine.
It turned out to be that the brushes were not making all the best of
contact.
I have cleaned these things and it appeared to be the the brushes weren not
making good contact before cleaning.
It all works fine now.
Cheers,
Hans
'71 BGT
p.s. I saw lots of nice British beauties today on a British car show in our
town.
Lots of people.
3 MG booths (generic - MGA - MGT series)
Beautiful MG's, Truimphs, Healys, Jaguars, Rolls Royces, etc.
