hey guys, i need your help once again. The choke on my holley street deamon got stuck this weekend after i made a stop for gas, and the car wouldnt turn over. the choke was stuck shut. anyways, how to i fix it...
please help.
Mike
UPDATE: went out again to look at the situation. tried to turn on car with the choke open manually. turned the key......nothing but a rattle/vibration sound from the engine bay. chased it down, the starter selonoid rattles and makes horrid sound whenever i turn the ignition to on. the car doesnt even crank. just the selonoid rattles/vibrates and makes the sound. whats going on here? im guessing the selonoid is bad, but could it also be the starter?

Before you start replacing anything, you better check your battery (have a load put on it) and battery cables making sure all connections are clean and tight.
