Our MF 2680 has a lucas M127 12v starter motor. Most times when starting there is no problem but randomly when key is turned we just get click from solenoid. Sometimes by keep clicking the key it sometimes starts( or have to resort to screwdriver across Bat + to spade term) which then it goes 100%.I have un-soldered the solenoid, ground the faces of the B+ and Motor terminals inside and reground the connecting plate including pressing out new dimples in the switching plate. I did all this and it made no difference to before l started this. Motor has been apart and been cleaned and checked. I subsequently found out that l can buy a new solenoid but is this really the problem as l would really like to know what is not working inside? Please help.
