To start your car, there will be two nuts on the back of the starter solinoid.  One has the thick positive cable on it.  The other will *whirl/spin* the motor.  Jump these two, then try to start the car.  With luck, it should churn.

  Hi all.

I may be purchasing a 82 air cooled Vanagon. Was
running, (stalled when hot) currently not running now,
(starter will not turn when jumped. Maybe elec.
connections or seized engine) pops out of Reverse
Hopefully some useful parts. Wiper motor/linkage,
speedo, tranny core, engine parts etc. They have
listed at $500 Cad.

Are there any magor differences between these years
that would render this a poor purchase?

(hey at the very least I would have lots of wheel
studs --- ;^)

Please and thanks,

Neil Nicholson.
