[John1971]

Hi All,
This is my first post of many to follow. At present I am restoring a 1971 B. We are the 2nd owner, this is a pretty cool story. My older brother now at 61 and his best friend bought there MGBs new in 71. My brother kept his until he started a family and then it was gone. His friend went to Florida to college, got back home in 80, built a house and his B sat in his garage since 83. I bought it last November from him so he could see his west side of his garage. My wife had a 1972 B when we met 20 years ago, we also sold hers back then, no car seat room. I had a 71 TR6, so I do have a pretty good grasp of little English cars. This is my Problem, the electrical system is up and running, I've got a strong starter and have turned over the motor many times with the ignitian switch. The other night I removed the center console to check a conection which was fine. I went to turn the starter and the starter was dead. All else works, the funny thing is that the previous owner installed a timing jog switch for the starter and if I use that switch the starter rotates. Any Suggestions on this, I can't find a fuse not to say there is not one hidden somewhere. Thanks for any help I can get on this. John1971
