pressed the starter and nothing nada zip diddly squat!

I cleaned and dieelectric greased all the block connectors under the tank, i then did the one for the reg/rect (which was furry!) There appears to be a bad connection for the block connectors going to the clocks, as if i move it about the neutral light goes out.. I took them apart and cleaned and greased. Is there anything in the starting circuit that could be affected by the clock wiring circuit? Anyhoos after doing all this Nothing :eek . I persevered pressing the starter button and it eventually fired up   I have turned it on and off several times and it fires up, so there may be something intermittent going on. At least i know if it wont fire off the button i can short the solenoid and it will start.
