So today I did all the fluid changes and stuff to see if my 72 914 would turn over. got a new battery and all that good stuff. Turn they key and nothing happens but a click from the starter. Doesnt sound like it is trying to turn or anything. Is there anyway to hand crank the engine while still in the car to be sure it isnt locked up??

I'd suggest cleaning the grounds and connections first... then go to any other method. Even on jack-stands, I'm a bit wary of starting the car that way with my head beneath it. Try the low-risk stuff first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Besides, cleaning grounds and connections is just good preventative maintenance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
