Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Fuel Pump HELL......suggestions for a "GOOD" fuel
pump please.
Bigger problem now. I wanted to just get the car into the driveway (I left
it on the street) before I removed the fuel filter on the inside port. The
battery seems dead barely a turnover although the fuel pump sounds great. so
I am getting electricity. I tested the battery with my digital multi-meter
I have 12 volts at the battery which should be enough, right?. I used my
Saturn as a jump start and got nothing from the Sprite, nothing as though I
didn't hook up the jumper cables hardly turned over like a completely dead
battery. I don't get it. FYI When I fired her up the last few times this
last week and today the battery seemed weak and bearly turned the engine
over and then caught a spark to start. The battery is 4 years old I
disconnect when not using but I thought 12 volts from my multi meter was OK.
I'll look for my battery tester as I may have a dead cell. But what really
annoys me is the jump did nothing to the starting I thought it would turn
over at least. What else should I check or should I just get another
battery? I need to get the car into the driveway and not embarrass myself by
asking a neighbor to help me push it.
Please send suggestions ASAP....UGH!
