Thanks for all the queries and information, Missleman, Blackbird & RemcoW, ! We really appreciate it.
- Yes, it is an automatic.
- When trying to start it, it cranks. but does not start. So, it’s not a battery issue I guess is my point. Sorry, that was a bit confusing. It does not sound slowed or tired.
- and…A HA! There is indeed an unburnt fuel smell occasionally from the exhaust. I’ve noticed this on and off many times. We thought maybe it was something to do with the carburetor, but have never gotten to the root of the problem. Perhaps this is a significant clue?
@RemcoW: We’ve never thought to try that. Being that it only happens every so often, we will give it a go next time she decides to fail us!
Thanks again. We look forward to more of your thoughts.
