"Ser.# 601062 Mallory dist. with balast rest.
I noticed recently that at times this engine would not start in the ignition start position ,but would start when the key was released to the run position.The problem is now consistant.I changed the ing.switch,and it seemed to correct for a short time, but now it will not start in the start positon.I checked and cleaned the connections ,bal.rest.,start relay.coil,and no corrosion was evident.Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks; JPM"

"I would look at the starter solenoid. Also check the battery cables and grounds. It is possible that, due to a faulty cable or connection, while the starter is cranking, not enough voltage is being delivered to the ignition circuit to fire the coil."
 
"Thank You, Rick for your repl

"Thank You, Rick for your reply.As you suspected the the ground lead (green)from the start relay to the block gnd. bolt was crumpled and actually fell off in my hand. I renewed the connection, and all seems fine.
Thanks Again; JPM"
