Unreliable start

[Zippy121]

I had a fault with the stop solonoid, it would run but as soon as moderate to high revs used it'd cut out.
Then it became troublesome at starting, I was having to use the granade to prime the system every time but ran well once it was running.
Finally it just wouldn't start after a long motorway run and the engine was still warm.
I removed the solonoid inner plungerr and spring, hey presto no more faults!
Had to use the manual stop lever for a few days until the replacement solonoid arrived.
Well worth a look if you have erratic starting problems
My car has the Lucas pump btw and the genuine Lucas solonoid was £15 from eBay.
Hope this may help?
