Sunday, September 28, 2003No StartieWell, I guess it was the solenoid in the starter. Glad I didn't drive it anywhere and turn it off. It wouldn't start at all today. Good battery and all that. No clicks either. I checked wiring diagrams and that has to be it. So, I did other things. Put on the new wheels to see if they'd fit. I need longer bolts. Quite a bit longer. Thinking of going with studs too. Looked for tires today online too. Looking like I'll spend about $50 each. 205/60R13 is what I'm looking at. Also installed the new air cleaner and re-mounted the electronic ignition. No biggie, but it cleaned up the engine bay quite a bit. I am missing 3 bolts that mount the air cleaner to the carb. I might be able to find those at the local hardware store, or possibly from IAP. Must order some parts. New solenoid, longer wheel bolts (possibly studs) and bolts for air cleaner. |
