Neutral safty switch

[Mike]

I know this sounds simple but I fought this problem on one of my PTs for a
while. Check the positive connection on the starter for cleanliness and
tightness. Also clean the large battery cable connection where it attaches to
the starter and check the tightness of the crimp on the cable. Oil can get on
the connection and these engines vibrate and things can get loose. Worked for
me.

sure to use a 30 AMP DPDT switch, not the usual 20-AMP junk that you commonly
find at Wal-Mart. Also, if there are any splices in the small box, open the
splice connections and check for corrosion. Mine would not start at AZ earlier
this fall and it was a corroded switch along with a corroded splice. Try and use
the adhesive-lined heat shrink butt connectors and ring terminals when you
rewire the switch. That should keep the moisture out! You might also coat the
new switch terminals with a nice helping of di-electric grease to postpone
corrosion on the screw connectors. Since replacing the switch, my coach starter
"hits" within a millisecond of turning the key. There used to be a delay of a
few seconds or so. The neutral safety switches rarely fail in the Morse shifter.
If they get weak, you can clean the little ball and spring assembly to assure
better contact.
