NEW CAR!
My starter either has a dead spot, or the whole thing is dead, I can't decide which, nor can I spend time worrying about it tonight. Had to push off from work, and tried starting it ten times on the way home while rolling... no go.. I am dragging her in for major service, everything is being fixed, and then she's on the block. Anyone coming this way from CAMP914? MCCLHASACARFORMEIJUSTKNOWIT |

If you can't start it, how do you know the motor is noisy? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

Ok, after doing nothing at all to it, it still won't start. Who advised letting it sit? Was that you Mike?

With higher compression than stock, I had to back timing off about 2 degrees or so or else, SOMETIMES, it seemed the ignition kicked back against the starter when the engineALMOST fired and made a hellofanoise (KAWHAM!). I fried a solinoid, replaced starter, still had WHAM sound, then as a result of improved carb action which put idle at about 1200, I retarded diz a tiny tiny bit and now startup is EZ. As an experiment, it might be worth trying this anyway...
