    Hello.

    I'm renovating a Dragster, and I have now come so far that I should try to start it up for the first time.
    The kickstart worked fine, but the elstart not.
    I could hear the klicking sound of the starter rele, but the enging wont turn over.
    After a short fault finding, I found this!!

    The rele was completely rusted, and the switching contact was missing.
    I have now change the rele, and everything works just fine.
