Starter packed up 10 miles from home at the local hospital. Bumped it down the road by the heart unit ( handy, I thought ) and home…haven’t done that for nigh on 50 years.
After replacing the disintegrated internal & external insulation I managed to re-assemble the starter body 180◦ off - resulting in lots of spin and no engagement.
Very many thanks to All who posted the cure - still don’t understand why but then never could my head around sparky stuff .

There's no problem so bad that a little fixing can't make it worse! : )
