I am looking to the wisdom of the list. After not starting my year old '76B
since November, my blood has begun to boil and it is time. I had the
battery recharged, rehooked it to the car, and turned the key. My newly
installed radio worked right. (Thanks to the list, of course.) The gas pump
and the lights went on appropriately, but Woody the woodpecker made a
horrid noise under the hood.
The starting motor or the solenoid is fairly sick.
My questions:
Why would a layoff of 3 months lead to a problem not encountered last year?
How does one tell the difference between a sick solenoid or a sick starter?
Starting was not one of the problems I encountered last year.
TIA,
Bill
