Re: 90 Toro only starts when it wants to
You need to check those battery cables. I'm not familar with the 90 Toronado but I'm willing to bet there is a separate battery cable going to the starter. Therefore everything in the car can have a good connection but the starter. Disconnect all the battery cables & remove the bolts then clean everything with sandpaper/wirebrush. Reassemble with dielectric grease & give it a try.
If your still having trouble remove the battery cable from the starter & clean that & reassemble with some dielectric grease. You don't need to remove anything when checking for power to the small wire on the starter solenoid. Just connect a voltmeter or 12 volt test light between the terminal and ground. Should show 12 volts or bulb should light when key is turned to start position. Let us know what you find.
I'd also reccommend getting your battery tested. A lot of autoparts stores will do this for free.
