My 74 1.8 914 has been in hibernation for over two years.
Last weekend, I tried to start it. Here's what happened, lights on dash are bright, but starter does not engage. I rolled the car while it's in gear in an attempt to rotate the fly wheel. For those that might say, is the battery charged, yes but was low. Battery is being charged now. But just in case its not the battery, what could be wrong? Should I tap the starter ? I feel silly asking such an elementary question...as I should have have someone start it more often. Oh. Ive been topping it off with new gas and a large bottle of Staybill for the gas every six months. I want to thank any advice in advance. Oh, yes I've utilize the search function too. |
