1967 beetle won't start
this one's probably basic...got a 67 bug that won't start, doesn't try
turning over at all. battery is showing 13.4 volts, lights go on, but no cranking at all. red light is on, but not the green/yellow one. i have a kill switch on this, not sure how it works, but when it's off the car will crank, but not turn over. coil? starter? ideas? giving me ways to test the ideas would be even better. thanks in advance. -chris |

Not going to argue about semantics, but you need to clarify this one.

Just try the starter directly by supplying power to the little wire on the
starter solenoid! Can you turn the crankshaft by hand or by wrench? post results! I am not Speedy though! ;-) > wrote in message ...

1967 beetle won't start
when the kill switch is in the postion that it does turn over check to
see if your getting power on the positive side of the coil. its the black wire that feeds power and runs from the coil to the top postion of fuse1 onfuse block. You sould also check points. turn engine so the points are open thne turn ignition to on, with test light you should have power to the molving part of the points. |

To the original poster, let it be duly noted that is a thieving hack and is speaking through unattributed paraphrases from Muir's idiot manual. HIs name is Mario Gavazzi and he is a conniving snake, having successfully ripped off many customers of their hard earned cash in exchange for his ****ty "restoration" services. Take his advice at your own risk. |
