Spridgeteers!
I am back! I'm sure many are saying "So what?" or "Who is this guy?"
I have a '65 Sprite, used to be my daily driver. It's sat while we've 
had a very wet summer. I charged up the battery tonight, went to 
start it, and all I got was either a "clunk" sound or the whirring 
sound of what I guess is the starter.  I guess the solenoid is stuck. 
Also, the fuel pump is not making it's normal thump-thump-thump noise 
when the key is in the on position. Though I know that this has 
happened to others, it's never happened to me. What is the fix for 
those who know? (short term or long term). I just need to get it back 
on the road for now!
Thanks much!
Jeff
