Electrical problem Wayne Cape Waynecape waynec@optio.com
I just bought and brought back a 78 112 TCA from Arlington, TX to Winder, GA with the help of Paul Davis. Great trip. We did encounter a problem after making a couple of stops along the way. The plane would not restart w/o a 'jump' or until it cooled down. Now the plane will not start at all. The mechanic checked the starter and we put in a new battery. When the ignition switch is turned on all we get is 'chatter' (rapid clicking). He almost destroyed the pilot's seat taking it out so that he could reach a connector under the instrument panel. It was chattering. After he 'forced' the connection, the solenoid at the battery is chattering, but no start. Any ideas?
