: Project POS.. after sitting helpless for the better part of 2 yrs I reassembled everything.. sat. I put the radiator, alternator, belts etc in it... dumped some marvel in the cylinders and changed the plugs.. tonight I ran all the gas outta the tank (i.e. turn on the key and let it run :)..).... so I got all the gas out (well as much as possible) dumped some really potent fuel stabilizer/treatment in and some fresh gas... due to lack of a spare battery I hooked a jumper box to the car... turned on the key.. depressed the clutch.... click.. whir.. click..click... damn!!! basically the car would let the starter turn over about one tooth... not revolution.. one TOOTH! it almosted seemed like I kept getting an interupted flow of current from the battery... but not sure.. I grabbed hold of the starter... hot.. so I pulled the starter and took it into town to test it.. hooked it up.. wham.. hit the first time.. damn.. damn.. damn... so any thoughts from you genuises?? my mechanical efforts are exhuasted for this evening.. I'm wondering if perhaps the lack of a actual battery could cause something like that.. weird? I dunno basically I'm gonna dump a battery in it tommorow and see what happens.. then if needed I'll just wire like 6 batteries in parellel and hit the damn thing with a few amps...
