hey guys,
i just bought a 1985 spree from my friend for nothing. it has been sitting for 1-2 years when he has had it, and 5 years outside when the guy before him owned it. im charging the battery as we speak and hoping it isnt bad yet. i need to know how to start the engine though. what is the procedures to start it? like do i have to hold the throttler and put the e-brake on as well.
thanks guys. this means a lot!

Re: A Very Cold Start
which brake, front or rear?
Re: A Very Cold Start
If it mattered I would have specified. The rear brake does have a lock on it, but it is turning on the brake light that matters. The light circuit supplies power to the starter relay. The start button supplies the ground.ASGAARD2129 wrote:which brake, front or rear?
