Alright my little braniacs I need your help. My car won't start, on it's own. Push starting it works just fine. Last week I took the starter out, had it tested at my local NAPA, and after it tested f

Does the starter just spin and not engage? Does it not spin at all? Does it crank real slow? Starter bendix drive might be shot. You may have twisted off the soldered connection inside the starter wh

after it tested fine noticed that the pinion and barrel (part 17 on page 177 of the beloved Haynes manual) stuck a bit. So it was oiled with some graphite oil, and it worked great until this morning

Just one thing to add; Check the grounds, check both the ground to the body of the car from the battery and the ground from the frame to the block. Pay particular attention to the ground from the bat

Page 178 of your beloved Haynes manual Section 21 step 17 also tells you NOT to lubricate those drive components because "this can, after some use, cause the pinion to stick." huh, look at that. who

If you have a lousy ground, a jump won't overcome that if you're hooking the cables to the battery. You still haven't answered if the starter spins or not, jump or no hump. One of the simple ways tha

Paul, The lights will dim when the key is engaged if the bad ground is between the battery and the body (either end of the cable). The faulty ground is affecting the entire electrical system. If the

Patricia, A bad ground will sneek up on you. One day it will work fine and and the next day it will not. It can come and go making it difficult to find. It can be caused by corrosion, loose connectio

When doing a "jump" start, put the ground lead from the jump battery somewhere on the engine, not the car battery or body. If the car starts connected this way, then the ground strap from the body t

I wonder if the braided wire ground strap from the tranny to the frame could have broken. I have seen many of them in very poor shape. /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.

Are the starter teeth stuck in the flywheel teeth? Wiggle the starter and see if it's stuck and if you can free it. Out of both my Midgets, they've both had this problem (one more than the other). I
