woooahh!

 

slow down man!

 

can you please explain the symptoms in a bit more detail to us.

..and the problem might not be with the starter motor at all, it could be in the ignition wiring, so don't blow your cash on a new starter until you know.

 

First sort the brake lights, then have the battery checked, then make sure the key puts power down to the starter every time. The starter is hidden under the exhaust manifold and you get at it from under the car... horrible place!

 

Find a wiring diagram for the car on the net and check for brittle/burnt wires under the exhaust manifold.

 

also sometimes the engine shakes

 

Not the oil pump in a million years! Change the plugs and show us a photo of the gaps in the old ones. Check the points gap and timing, then play with the idle mixture and idle speed screws on the carb. When the motor is warm you should screw the mixture out then in half a turn at a time to get the fastest idle speed, then reset the speed with the idle speed screw.

 

Make sure there is no water under the oil cap and no oil film in the radiator, & one day check the tappet gaps...

Thank you so much for your help should be able to fix this problem tomorrow..

I will take some pic when its done..

here's a bit of a wiring diagram I was colouring for some project.

 

Physically the fusible links are under the exhaust manifold, as are the starter wires and the alternator wires. They all get affected by heat and a poor connection will cause them to not work occasionally. I've had to re-solder the contacts on the fusible links and the starter activator.

 

You could disconnect the ignition key setup under the dash and use a multimeter to measure the resistances as you turn it through its different positions. If it dries out inside or gets burnt contacts it won't power the starter each time.

That is some useful diagram thanks mate.. also couldnt find break fluid to see if need to top up is that normal for 4k engine..
