IMO the most likely explanation is that your Allison has died. Pop the dizzy cap off, verify that the shaft turns when you crank the engine, and that the pickup is still where it belongs. Inspect th

Help! Trying to start my PI TR6 produces just clicks, which seem to come from the solenoid / starter. If I turn on the ignition, I get a series of fast clicks - 3 or 4 a second(?). The battery is OK

Hi Paul, Still sounds like a dead battery to me. Because you previously had to jump start the battery, you know there is a problem with retaining a charge or a charging problem. Just because you trie

I'll echo the other replies, and say that it sounds like either a bad battery, or a bad connection somewhere (perhaps in the ground from the battery to the engine block). The rapid clicks are caused

When my TR3A wouldn't start, I overstressed the starter and have the same symptoms that you've described. I'm certain that the starter will need to be rebuilt. How could I "overstress" the starter? I

Hi Tom et al The internal combustion engine requires 5 things to get it to produce power. 1/ Combustible fuel (is the fuel fresh and getting to the cylinders) 2/ Compression (do you have compression

I agree with John's list. If you have spark, gas, and compression it HAS to run...at least that's what my auto mechanic mentor always told me. (he probably should have added..and if Tom hasn't played

One place to look at is the ignition switch itself. I had problems with my TR6 cutting out while running and it turned out to be the electrical contacts at the rear of the ignition switch. It could

For starters, what is in your dashpots is either automatic transmission fluid or Marvel Mystery oil. Stick a paper towel in the dashpot to remove the remnants and top up with either. Level is correct

My guess is that the problem wasn't the old coil (they really don't fail very often) but rather in either the replacement parts or the process of replacing them. -Be sure the points are actually open
