hey my 75 mav 4 door 6 cyl 250 will not start i changed the starter and the cellanoid still will not the only thing i think it may be is the voltage regulator or the ignition coil. i have to boost the car everytime and when i turn the key over something busses near the cellanoid i think it is the voltage reg not sure. but the car ran before winter it only has 24ooo miles on it can you help me out shonpreston98@hotmail.com
Could be the solenoid. But it really sounds like you have bad battery cables and terminals. Buy some new ones and clean up the battery posts while at it. Might save you money in the long run. Dan
If it does not turn over when you turn the key, and all you hear is a buzzing , you don't have enough voltage going to the solenoid, or a bad ground. using a voltmeter, check battery voltage from the 2 terminals (+ & - ) it should be at or around 12 volts. leave the meter hooked up and have a friend turn the key, It should not drop below 10 volts. If it does, then the battery is bad. If it's not at 11 - 12 volts with the key off, it's bad. try that first. mess with the maverick, you get the horns
thanks guys now the damn car wants to turn over it just isnt happenening i am thinking a little gas in the carb might work what do you think
1st, ck and see if there is fuel in the tank, and if there is, does it stink like an old snowmobile? if so, disconnect the feed line from the tank to the fuel pump, on a six, it's on the right hand side facing the engine. the feed hose goes through the fenderwell to the fuel pump. take a gas can and a length of hose from the can to the pump. now you have a fresh fuel supply. turn over engine untill you have fuel at the carb. (have an assistant pump gas pedal while you look down carb past the choke. you should see a squirt of fuel when pedal is pumped. NOW that I've given the proper explanation to satisfy the proper mechanic in me, try it the easy way.. get a can of carb cleanr spray and hose some down the carb. pull can away a safe distance and have a pal try to start it. if it runs bad gas/carb.. whew.. O.K.?? mess with the maverick, get the horns 776 svv
