Hello, all: My '72 Eldo occasionally responds to the starter button
with a loud click. Can happen once or several tries in a row, then
will fire up as normal. Seems to have plenty of juice to spin the
motor, more like the starting relay is hit and miss(?) Also a bit more
apt to do it on restart on a warm/hot engine than on a cold engine,
though it did it to me cold last night, thus prompting the post.
Doesn't seem to be a function of weak vs strong battery. Suggestions?
