A friend who owns and drives a Model A called me over recently.
"Bring a spare starter" he says. "Mine must be no good."
I found a starter and hoofed over to his house.
Hmm. No lights, no horn, no nutting.
"I think you have a battery connection issue. Let me diddle with the connections."
Up comes the mat, up comes the battery cover, connection to starter is TIGHT-TIGHT.
As I put my fingers around the connection to ground, I could see a spark between the clamp and the post.
"Try it now on the lights."
He had lights, horn, AND starter.
"You need to get your terminal brush out and clean that one up. Use 'NoCorode' conductive grease on the terminal before re-landing."
He bought me lunch.
