Engine wont turn over!
Finally got around to putting in my new 1776, everything hooked up, but when
i go to fire it all i get is a single heavy *click* from the starter, ive double checked all connections, rapped on the dolenoid with a hammer, oh, i should probably add this, from what i can see underneath, the PO of my 72 beetle has removed the original solenoid and in stalled in its place, a Ford solenoid.....ive fingered this as the main problem, just wondering if anybody had any thoughts on this. |

Can you turn the crank manually? Anywho, you can start it directly, bypassing the solenoid. Need directions? |
