Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Bubble Burst,,, Car won't start

Don't know number of Morgan Rescue, but sympathies. Hopefully somebody who does know will be along soon.

I guess with modern fuel injected engines and electronic ignition, it's harder to diagnose the problem without test gear.

When my 1930 three wheeler starter motor packed up at a filling station, it was pretty easy to get a passer-by to give the needed push.

The geared starter in Woodstock was so good that if the battery was too flat for the electronic ignition to work, the engine would still turn over. I've known new car batteries to not have much charge and if you have a sensible battery voltage sensing charger, put the car on charge. Might still need the services of a professional but at least you've helped them by having a fully charged battery by the time they look into it.
