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) |

If whacking a solenoid with a hammer to get it rotating, you're already beyod the point that the hammering will make anything worse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
