I recently aquired a bone stock '75 with a 1.8 and was told it ran great last time it was started 6 months ago. So I charged the battery, turned the key....and nothing. The other electronics work though. I can hear the fuel pump kick on, headlights pop up, horn works, etc.
Does it sound like an ignition switch problem, or a starter problem? Or something else I'm not thinking of? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

The ignition switch could be broken internally not making contact in the start position. You said all the other lights come on.
How about the wire to the starter being disconnected at the solenoid somehow (yellow wire to spade terminal)?d You can jump the starter between the large top pole on the solenoid and the spade terminal to test the starter. Make sure it is out of gear first though. You can turn the key on and do the above and see if it will start. |
