Went out to start Philvo this A.M. and it only clicked(dash lights came on).Headlamps were bright(battery fine), so I tapped the starter with a hammer.Nothing.Jumped it with my wife's '87 240 and it started right up.
It wasn't that cold here in southern Maine last night(20+ c.)It has started on colder nights.I have a Diehard battery with clean connections and my voltmeter registered 12+v.Why didn't it start?Connections to the starter are all good,wiring harness is fine.No neutral safety switch(M-46).Wierd.
