Damn that Lucas rubbish! It only gave 50 years of service. I guess the answer
is to buy an oriental alternative that sounds like a sewing machine and has no
history of survival rates.
Well, actually the answer is to make sure you have no points of high
resistance in the path from the battery, through the motor to earth (ground).
Make sure the battery is good and finally if all else fails rebuild the Lucas
starter.

Have you load tested the battery? How old is it?
