wont start.

So about a month ago I went off into a ditch and cracked my radiator. After the car not being started in over a month, I put a new radiator in it. Got it all pit back together and now it won't start. Sounds like the starter spins freely and doesn't want to catch. Battery is fully charged. Gonna try to attach a video but dunno If it will work.

I'd say it's probably flooded. Check the deflooding diy

This happened to me over winter when i couldn't use the car because of the snow. Mine was flooded, had to dry off the plugs etc and let the excess fuel dry out. I actually found i had to pump some oil into the plug sockets to to get better compression... don't know if anyone else has experienced this. I read it on a site somewhere. Anyways, sure enough it started up after a few goes.

Another thing, may be wise to charge your battery up a bit if you've been turning it over like that for ages.
