Hello from Chicago / 1979 Spider 124, 2000 Pinninferina

Post by mrrightchicago »

Few months ago I bought the 79 Spider 124, in running condition, but needs TLC. I drove it little bit, but now it doesnt start only clicks. In chicago this car can be driver or only few months of the year. I am glad to be here. thanks John

Hi John,

It's probably your starter motor or not enough power in the battery , I always disconnect earth on the battery after a drive just to keep it juiced up as the clock can suck power up over a few weeks.

Cheers and keep us informed...
John

Welcome!
Do your TLC & fix the starting problem.
Could be starter or battery as PininF says. Could also be bad wiring connection.
