I have a '62 Dodge Lancer I bought not too long ago. The only way I can get the engine to turn over is by shorting across the two poles on the starter. I think the problem has something to do with the selections for the transmission. It's in park and the selector is in neutral, but I still cannot turn the engine over with a turn of the key. If you can tell me where to begin my trouble-shooting or what you suspect is the trouble, that would be an easy 10 pts. for you.
I'll give the person who can suggest the best way to clean out a gas line that's clogged with old gasoline (varnish) all the bonuses I can muster too. I'm trying to avoid tracking down a new live for fear that it will either be very difficult to find or expensive because I'll probably have to get one specially made.
To fire_inur_eyes: I guess you're unable to read between the lines. If I could afford to take the car to a shop I would. And no, there is nothing wrong with the starter.
