Check the battery cables. They should be free of corrosion and tight. Applies to the main cable to the starter solenoid and the ground cable.

If the Midget is wired in a similar manner as a B, make sure the terminals on the battery cables are clean and securely connected at both ends. Check all the brown wires at the starter, making sure they are clean and secure. If all the connections are clean, secure, and have correct voltage, it is possible that the starter is locked up. Bushings in starters wear and can bind, preventing the starter motor from turning.
