TomGaval Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Weather finally turns nice and car won't start! Haven't started the car in 2 months. This morning, charged the battery, filled the tank, and car cranks weakly but does not turn over. Fuel pump pressurizes when key turned on. Car ran fine last time out. Any thoughts? K series.

TomGaval Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 Thanks Fred. Any idea what the specs are on the battery? Looks like a lawn mower size. Any recommendations. I'm US based. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFA Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Tom, Use a battery conditioner. These batteries will forgive you as yours has a couple of times, but repeated discharging will quickly depleat the batterys willingness to accept a charge.

TomGaval Posted March 10, 2002 Author Share Posted March 10, 2002 Thanks Arnie. Read the archives re: conditioners, and now understand the importance of keeping the battery charged. Good excuse to take it out more often! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
