my 1941 Merc that I had bought in Apr., suddenly started the "clik-clik-clik" when i tried to start it.... like my battery was dead.... it was not (12.96), so bought a new Starter Relay... and more "clik-clik".... anyways, somehow, miraculously I discovered the "fault".... my Positive Battery cable was BAD.... it would allow enough juice to light the lights, etc., but when I tried to start, there was not enuff juice avail..... replaced the battery cable, and all was back to normal. stay safe. thanks
