At Least We Know It’s Not the Starter
Posted By Ardellis on September 9, 2006
A short while ago, I tried to start my ‘71 superbeetle (Baby*, as I call her) and she just wouldn’t. Not even a grind as she tried to catch, just a sad little click as the key turned in the lock.
Today, my husband jumped Baby from his Honda Civic. It took some doing, but he got her going (yay!). We ran her for a bit, but she wouldn’t start again without the jump. I’m thinking a new battery is in order here, but it might also turn out to be the generator. We’re going to try the battery option first. ‘Cause, she probably would have needed one soon anyway.
* Those of you who’ve read the Wild Cards series edited by George R.R. Martin know where the name came from.
