95 Sprite

Looking at buying a mini for sale here on the forums.

Apparently wont start off the key, will only start with a small push. Crank sensor starter motor have been changed, still wont start.

Any ideas? Worst case scenario?

Cheers.

As long as the price is right - for a non-starting car! Provided it starts with a push - there can't be that much wrong with it.........

Could be a number of relatively simple things

1 Battery low or just cream crackered
2 Bad Battery or Connections
3 Starter Motor dirty
4 Solenoid fubar
5 Starter Motor fubar

mostly inexpensive repairs
hope that helps
