Re: '83 Spider won't turn over (intermittent)

[Godfrey DiGiorgi <ramarren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My '78 Spider did the same to me a few times. I looked at everything 
sensible. It seemed to be a largish voltage drop which would not activate 
the starter solenoid reliably. 

Finally handed it to the shop as I didn't have time to go further. They 
found that many of the wiring harness connectors were corroded on the 
inside and cleaned, put new  connectors in. They also cleaned the 
contacts on the ignition switch and put in a new ground strap. Problem 
solved. 5 hours worth of labor to go through all the electrical 
connections like that ... And I know they put more time into it than 
that.
