Went to start my 75 1.8 L Jet this AM. I accidently left it in 1st gear to start it and it lurched forward a bit. I tried to restart it and ..... nothing cranking-wise.
Turning the key, all the electrical functions are operational. Turning the key further and no crank or even a hint or cranking. Battery is brand new and reads 12.7 Vdc, cleaned the battery terminals, checked for blown fuses, still no crank. Any ideas, suggestions, troubleshooting tips, etc. would be appreciated. |

Happy to report it's fixed!!
Quite possibly the easiest. 914. repair. EVER! The yellow solenoid wire spade connector somehow came off the solenoid. Push it back on, fixed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dancinnanner.gif) The connector felt pretty snug on the male spade. I'm thinking it never was pushed on fully during the engine re-install and eventually just fell off. |
