Good evening,
I've got a 1986 Chevy k10 with a built 350 in it for starters;
The previous owner has done a hack job on repairing the thing, and i'm left cleaning up the mess.
This morning, when going to campus to study, I tried turning it over and got a single 'click' the first time, upon trying to turn it over a few more times I got no response whatsoever.
Suggestions i've gotten from a few online articles and friends include the battery (I don't think it's a battery issue, because the headlights and all accessories inside run at full power), and the starter.
I got under it, and I couldn't quite tell if the starter was engaged in the flywheel or not and quite frankly I didn't have enough time to really check. I've read that 'hitting it with a hammer' might do the trick.
Would you guys also guess that it is the starter?
Let me know what else it could be if not the starter because unfortunately, this thing is also my daily.
