Strangest no start I ever saw
Posted to Open Discussion Forum on 3/14/2025 19 Replies

In the late 1950s I was called to a parking lot to diagnosis a no start vehicle. It was a small economy car in the customers parking lot at her apartment. I opened the hood to check things out and out jumped a ground hog. It was caught between the body and front crank pulley and engine would not turn over. Somehow I was able to get it out and vehicle was then able to be started.
