I was driving around today, covered about 40 miles, stopped.
3 hours later another 12 miles.
Stopped.
1/2 hour later set off again, another 20 miles covered.
Stopped, engine off. 5 seconds later, tried turning the engine on again, would not start. The starter would turn and turn, but would not catch.
I checked the dizzy cap, all clean and good, all leads look good, unplugged and plugged lead to the ignition coil.
Tried this on and off for about an hour, before calling a tow truck and getting taken home
The RR is now sitting sadly in my drive and still won’t start. It’s now getting to the point where the battery is getting a little low.
Now this may be relevant: Yesterday there was a LOT of rain here (several inches) and I blasted through some fairly deep puddles. After I while I did encounter some misfiring and loss of power for about 30 seconds, but the RR was fine after that, and I did not encounter any problems before I broke down today.
Any ideas what’s going on here?
Thanks,
James
