1.3 carby. g13ba
havent touched the zook in a fortnight and im getting ready to chuck the petrol tank back in,
so i charged the battery and put it in, went to turn over the engine, nothing.
all the auxiliaries work, no fuses are blown. i tried 3 other batteries (one out of the coily thats working) tried jumper leads.
i can turn the engine over by hand so its not seized.
was running perfect a fortnight ago when i parked it up and dropped the tank.
im really stumped.

help me out as im moving house soon and need the wheels to get around in.
seized starter motor?

wiggle the solenoid trigger wire on the starter and check its connection

The small gauge wire to the solenoid. The one I was talking about before. Try bypassing the original by disconnecting it and apply 12V to the terminal on the starter.

Have to bridge a connection between the battery positive to that solenoid terminal. Easiest way would be the bridge where the battery connects to the starter using a piece of wire or screwdriver.

If that don't work try bridging the two large terminals on the starter with your screwdriver. Be prepared for a spark or two.

If you can try connecting the battery directly to the starter with jumper leads see how the goes

Put the car in 1st gear and rock the car so the motor turns over a little. Then try again to start. Might be a sticky starter?
Or get a hammer and using the wooden handle part give the solenoid a bit of a tap as well.
Just my thoughts :-)

yeah i gave it a few hits but it wouldnt even click, ive had trouble with it being lazy every now and than, and now cause it hasnt run for a fortnight seems its packed it in.
put another starter in it and its all systems go!
