They're not hard to remove, get it on the bench and see what happens if you connect it directly to a battery.

If you replace it I'd recommend getting a decent one rather than a cheap one.

I'm having trouble removing it, can't get to the top bolt!

Also found another problem while trying to trace the wires, I've got to the coil & a wire from the coil to the body has corroded so I've ran a wire to the battery from it but still nothing.

Its a strange looking wire with what looks like a lead bit on the end that attaches to the body?

I've got a strange feeling its an electrical problem as the starter doesn't even try to turn.

Skibum346:
Connects to the body...?

Anything connecting to the body is an earth...

... if you've replaced it with one to the battery... um... er...

hope I've misunderstood!

There are a goodly amount of lanes in the local areaish... I go out most with the crowd from Leicester... why not pop along to the meet on Tuesday... I won't be there but there are a couple of other lads from Cov who probably will. Hissy being the main one.

clbarclay:
As said connection to the body work is and earth, but as long as the new wire is connected to the negative terminal then that shouldn't be a problem.

Rossko:
Is this wire wot was corroded, 'just a wire' or a damn thick thing that you can't hardly bend, like an earth cable should be? Or a flat braid (in a plastic sheath)? What colour is it?

If it was truly a thick earth cable, running a flimsy thin wire to battery neg will not be good enough to make it work.

cheers, Ross K
