Unhappy 86 Marathon Gas won't crank


1986 Marathon Gas. Ran fine then started with starter would start out turning slow then build up speed and it would run. Then all of a sudden after I stop for a minute it would not turn over. If I tapped the start solenoid lightly it would start to turn over. I replaced the solenoid with a new 12 V one for a Ford. It increased the cranking speed greatly. But after I drive it a short distance and stop it won’t go again. Now tapping the solenoid doesn’t help. Regulator is new.

Thanks for any help,
Jon

Do you have a good charge on your starter battery?

Definitely (New)the lights are bright and no dimming when I try to press the accelerator. I can hear the micro click (New) when I do this. Before when it would crank it was cranking fast and would start. Best it has been for a while. Now it just won't crank.

All connections are nice, clean, and tight? I see you've got a lot of new parts. Double check all your connections?

Belts are New and tight. Just will not attempt to crank. If it cranks it will start. New Clutch to.
