Hi,there Guys,

New to the forum. I have inherited a 260 e 1989 model. My uncle passed away a few weeks back, and I have now his 260e. It was ok prior to him passing away, but because it has been many weeks without starting, it will not start now. I have tried, jump starting it with a booster, and the engine turns but not fire up. What can I do to get it started. It has fuel.

Many thanks in advance and look forward to your ideas.

Regards
NIck

 

Charge it overnight,spray some wd40 on all the wires to drive away any moisture that may have condensed on the wires.Then give it a try.A simple boost to a fully drained battery is sometimes just not enough oomph.
