I thought this was the cause of my woes - in the solenoid, but I can’t get the motor to turn either after hacking this together with bosch bits. F#$king Saturday night

I just spend over 5 hours fighting with an Italian turret punch from the early 90s - n the process of which I broke a die and bound up the machine several times. My day ain’t going so great either.

Bugger. Maybe high resistance across the motor cooked that contact bar in the first place?

kind of what I am thinking. I am going to open it up and make sure the brushes 1. Exist, and 2. are free and then make sure the bearings are okay. Not sure, but I have the 2 bolts loose - no idea how to sneak it out from under the intake but it is going to be close. Hopefully it errs in my favor

Boy, looking at that solenoid, its easy to believe it was the cause of your problems. Before going further, try jumping the starter with a jumper cable. Note to self, make sure you have car in neutral. Also you might clamp the cable or whatever the solenoid connected to and just touch the jumper cable to the battery positive. (unless your car is old and british)
good luck

well, how about old and French, and an automatic. I took the lead right to the starter input and no dice. We’ll see in a few...

That was the purpose of fighting with the punch: Manuel Quatro de Colomn.

Funny post My Lion won’t start
Posted 27 January 2012 - 11:27 AM
Hello All,
I have the 1985 French delivery car (2.0 gas, 5speed, NA, Bosh FI, GL) I’ve been driving the heck out of my car and noticed lately that the power was down, and that car was making an exhaust leak sound. I got under the car and tightened the manifolds the best I could (nothing was really loose) and found that the sound didn’t go away. A mechanic friend of mine said it sounded like my timing was off so I figured it needed a tune up soon. Then we were blessed with a big snowstorm here in Seattle and I wasn’t going anywhere with RWD and no chains (I live in a very hilly area), so I let the car sit in the snow for a few days, when the road was plowed I dusted the snow off the car, went in to start it and boom...She started just fine, I went inside to put my boots on, came out a little later found that the car had died, I tried to start it again, it turned over but it would not start. I put HEAT in the fuel later that day thinking the cold had separated water from our great ethanol gas, and caused a frozen fuel line but that did nothing to help. I decided then that really needed to do a full tune up, I called NAPA to see if they had the parts.....Oh Hmmm.....1985 Peugeot you say?......some they did have, cap, plugs, fuel filter (maybe?) they said they had one rotor but the other was unavailable so I needed to get the part # off it. I went out to pull the cap and rotor, cap comes off fine(needed replacing) ...however the rotor seems to be welded on to the distributor, and I cannot get it off, also it does not look like the other rotors in my Haynes manual(some appeared to have a bolt in the top, mine does not). I’ve been trying to contact “Peugeot Greg Bruninga” the guy I bought the car from, he said he had genuine Peugeot parts, and made it sound as if they where best choice for the car (Greg owned Rhino Motors a French Car repair business here in Seattle for a number of years) but he’s been impossible to get in contact with. So now I’m appealing to the Community, Help! Where should I get parts? What should I do first? Any advice?
Thanks!
John
