Check to see if the ground strap is in place from the frame to the

> Hi folks,
>
> I had the tranny back out and I reinstalled installed the original flywheel
> to see if I could get rid of the vibration I thought was coming from the
> lightened flywheel.
>
> Now I can't get er started. I changed polarity to neg ground a while back
> and drove the car for several months. The car has been sitting now since
> Sept. I've taken the starter off and cleaned the brushes (somewhat). One
> brush looks much more worn than the others.
>
> I took my MGA battery and used jumper cables to by-pass all wiring. When I
> hook directly to the solenoid switch it just clicks one loud click when I
> push the starter button on the dash.
>
> When I hold the jumper cables, one gounded and one to starter post, I get a
> huge spark and a week whiz sound from the starter. It does NOT sound like it
> is trying to start. I hooked the battery to the starter when it was out and
> it spun with large spark when connected.
>
> Is there a way to test the starter switch?
>
> I plan to have the starter rebuilt. Any other ideas?
>
> Cheers,
