83 UrQ no start


Yup.. its been 10 days since my last donation to the higher ups...

Its my '83 TQC, lately it started a new trick where I turn the key and 
absolutely **NOTHING** happens.  With the exception of the buzzer and the 
correct dash idiot lights, the starter will not engage whatsoever. No 
click, no dimming lights, no draw on the system at all.  Any clues?

I am able to pop start it no prob.. and when its having an 'episode' I 
can put it in gear ,and roll it a little (VERY little) and try again, and 
usually the starter will kick in. (not enough data to verify this, but 
twice that seemed to be the case.)

Any suggestions appreciated. 

BTW, batter etc all up to snuff... even took of the wires on the 
alternator and shined them up.... when it does crank, it cranks normal, 
not slow...

Bob
