How old is the battery?
This is only my second carbeurated vehicle and I haven't found any trouble with it. Way easier than fuel injected rotaries like I'm used to lmao
Also. Passeger door lock works after i lubed it up
Never do this.
They will eat it, crawl back into some inaccessible crevice, and then die.
You will then get to spend hours trying to find out where the smell of rotting mouse is coming from.
Always use traps of some sort instead.
it's probably just full of dried grease and dirt. Pull it out and apart, if you can, clean it off with some diesel and a brush, and throw it back together with something like Lubriplate.
Y'know, not super-sticky axle grease.
I thought It was a brand new rayovac when I bought it (the car) in August last year.
I’m currently digging through my cupboards for cash stashes to buy a new one actually.
Everything’s consistent with the battery being shot.
I haven’t found a refurb sticker yet but i’m Suspicious that I misjudged it as “new”
Im probably just going to leave it for now. I don't feel like tearing the lock apart if it kinda works
Got my new thermal vacuum switches and realized they don't swivel in their sockets.
The old ones did
I've been running an engine with EGR and EFE running AT ALL TIMES
also my fuel pump is stained and most likely leaking so that's getting replaced. That should significantly improve things
Would you at the very least hose it down with some graphite lock tumbler juice? It won't be quite the same as doing a full clean/lube, but it'll help a lot.
