Some progress and a further question please.
I have noticed that if I start the 945 and keep it running until warmed up, I have no problems restarting.
What causes a non-start is if I start, switch off and try restarting, after a few cycles of this it refuses to start.
With a voltmeter connected I find that the non-start is always when battery voltage falls below 12 volts (the battery and alternator are past their optimum).
The engine turns over well at least than 12 volts, but no-start.

My question is - does a low voltage prevent some relay or solenoid from operating, hence preventing a start!
