Default Re: 1909 Difficult to turn over

I'm not sure if the weather in Wisconsin is warm enough to do this, but I tow the car behind my pickup for a couple of miles with the spark plugs out. This loosens up the engine and transmission enough to start the car. After a couple of miles, install the spark plugs and tow the car to get the car running. Once the car is running, jack up the rear wheels and let the car run in high gear for a while. I always place a fan in front of the radiator to keep the engine cool while the car is on jack stands. I recommend you change the oil and coolant before towing the car and have new gasoline in the car. I hope this helps, Russ Furstnow
