Intermittent 60 series lecky problem

Post by juscruisin »

Guys,

Having some intermittent starting problems with the 60. Sometimes (seems to be only when warmed up) when I turn the ignition key to "on", the dash warning lights do not come on. The radio does, and if I hit "start", it will happily crank and fire for a few revs, then die. I've also found that sometimes the warning lights come on:

1) whilst cranking (then it will fire & continue to run)
2) if I turn the ignition key to off (then I can turn back to ON & start as though there was no problem)

I had a problem with the starter recently (just clicking instead of cranking) and this has been fixed (contacts corroded in the starter). (I've no idea how water could have gotten in there..... :roll: ....)

I had this problem (intermittently) prior to having the starter done, so I'm not going to assume that it was a result of the work (although I did find the auto-lecky left my oil-pressure sender disconnected and also left the end-cap bolts on the starter finger-tight). :bad-words:

A turbo-timer was on it when I bought it. While I have been somewhat suspicious that it could be a cause, it appears to be a solid-state device, so surely it will either work or not.

Ideas, anyone?

Oh, it's a 1988 60 with a 2H and after-market turbo.

Cheers.

P.S. I did search for related info, but couldn't find anything. Be gentle - I'm new here.....

Mods feel free to move this if it should be in the lecky section....
