 So I am pretty sure I dont' have a problem that has never hapened before, but I cannot find any reference to it in the forum. A little advice would be appreciated.
I recently purchesed a 1974 JH5 with 37,000 miles showing on the odometer. I think it is the original milage.
The problem is that when I turn the ignition key, some of the time the starter motor will not engage.
I found that if you twisted the key removal button , under the steering wheel, the starter would engage normally.
Does this sound like a matter of cleaning dirty contacts, replacing starter switch or maybe something else?
