thinking of buying one

Stuck starter? 95% of the problems with starters are bad or old batteries. They appear to be in perfect condition and everything else works on the car but in fact they do not have enough juice to power the startermotor. It sounds like it does a quarter or half revolution and then it stops. So it could be wise to bring along a spare battery to see if it then does more than one revolution when starting.

Also 95% of the time when the engine is not getting (enough) fuel the fuelpump is broken or working badly. Bring along a spare one (borrowed) and see if it works.
