It *could* be the changeover switch I suppose. You can check that in
two ticks with a multimeter: (I'm assuming that both batteries are fully
disconnected)
Check on the low resistance scale for connection between LHS (looking
forward) battery -ve terminal connector and chassis earth. If it is in
parallel (correct) it should show zero resistance, but if it is stuck in
series (wrong) it should be open circuit because it will be connected to
the +ve terminal connector for the RHS battery, which should show zero
ohms instead.
But I think it's more likely to be the starter contacts. There is a
write-up on the Slee Offroad site
http://www.sleeoffroad.com/technical/tz_starter_rebuild.htm although I
assume this is for a 12v US petrol engined starter. I printed this out
and gave it to the bloke who did mine, but he said it was much easier
than this write-up states.

|Christopher,

| Thanks for that, I wasn't sure if it was the starter or the
|12/24v solenoid that gave problems. I will get the starter off. I
|think you can get a contact set for these motors, if anyone has any
|info on that Please chip in. My batteries are both nearly new.
|
| It looks as if I might be Xmas without it.
