Road Test
| Road Test | |
| We were not able to go on a road test because the car would not start. The owner had a shop work on the car, and they cleaned out the gas tank, replaced the fuel pump and filter, and rebuilt the carburetor. The engine cranks but will not start. The battery is weak, making it crank over fast enough to start. | |
| Engine Starting | Crank but no start. |
