A Different Kind of Non-Start

Yes, of course, like a billion blogs, this one has a bunch of old stuff.  I have two notes that I’ll post in succession.

First is that I just went out to move Sassy so I could get better access to her passenger side.  Alas, the engine turns over but won’t stay running.  I assumed oil fouling at first because there has been a slow drain into the cylinders, but several minutes of weak operation led to no operation at all.  More or less … I guess she’ll still start, but continue to fail over and over.

I did manage to get the parking brakes to un-seize with the aid of another car — at least for long enough that I could move her back and forth in the driveway to get away from that passenger side a little bit.
