Won't start...

Hi everyone, first time owner of a new (to me) 911SC. Delivered this morning and was running fine, after several hours I can no longer get it to start. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to start eliminating or identifying the cause. Thanks

Welcome to the forum Chucklebeast,

Since your tach is not moving I do not think your engine is turning over, plus I do not hear the engine. Possibly your solenoid is not engaging the starter ring gear on the flywheel. Sometimes tappping on the solenoid while trying to start can get it to engage the ring gear. The solenoid is the small cylindrical body mounted to the starter.

Best of luck,

Rahl

If the engine starter is not not turning over. Give the solenoid, the small torpedo thingy along the starter. a whack with something heavy.

If no start, Spritz kwik start into the intake. No start it's fuel related.

If no start listen for the CDI box whine....
