book shows it to be an inertia type so as long as the dog is springing back and forth on test its ok. possibly corroded commutator brushes which can be cleaned with "fine glass paper but not emry cloth" sounds to me like a bad earth at first guess.

the book makes a reference that cold starting or starting after the vehicle has been stood for some time, should only be done after turning over by hand a few times to break the oil film.

are you running 12v system or original Barry?
