Hi

One thing worth trying is re-soldering the leads to the motor right where they enter, as I described a little in the post referenced below:

It worked perfectly on my '70 142. It was a very strange problem- corrosion had apparently crept in to the two otherwise fine-looking solder joints.

The heater box has to come out and all, but at least it's not the horror of the later 240 style.

Good luck!

Jim
