Thank you Kevin, I do hope it is the switch.
Rui, I appreciate the tips, thank you too.
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can raise the car and trace its source.
@awg Tony, @davidsxj6 David,
Many thanks again for your valuable tips. I think I now have all the info I need to try it out. After having replaced the starter motor (see corresponding thread) and tested the new high-torque starter today, my next work will be to disassemble and revise all the carburetors. The A bank is running a bit rich at low revs and does not accept further adjustment and when the engine does not run for a month or so: for the first 5-10 min a couple of cylinders are on strike, then all goes back to normality and the engine runs like a clock (this is reported in another thread). No problem will I use the car every 2-3 weeks max or so.
So gearbox after that , many thanks - I am also procrastinating , as being slightly claustrophobic, without a pit or lift, working under the car is not something I long for …

Thd valve body won’t stop dripping so I recommend you put glasses on. I also wrapped myself in foil. Also take something as a cushion and it won’t be as uncomfortable.
