Took my Barracuda to have the wheels changed. Looking out the window I see one of the shop guys sitting in my car. He should be starting it and moving it inside but all I see is him sitting there. After several minutes I walk out and ask "whats wrong?" He says "I can't get it started." I say "did you flood it?" He says "No. I have not touched the gas."
In short he was a young guy that had never driven a non-fuel injected car. He cranked my starter to death.
My question is, do I need a new starter, can I get away with a solenoid or what. It is not my battery. I gave it a full charge and the car will start if I click the key about 30 or 40 times. BTW this is the original 37 year old starter.
