Hello all.  Long time ower of a 68 GT-6 MK1 which runs well but looks 
like hell.  Anyhow, I have problem which I haven't been able to solve.  
The starter motor turns but will not engage and turn over the engine.  I 
removed the unit and cleaned.  I put a 12 volt charge to it and it 
extends and turns as required.  Back into the car and the problem 
persists.  I changed the starter and still have the same problem.  I'm 
beginning to think that the problem is in the electrical system and not 
having anything to do with the starter.  I did replace the solenoid a 
while back.  Could it be that is bad again?  If so, what would cause the 
solenoid to go bad again?
