She gets in the Volvo to get it started but with the first crank of the key she hears the battery is already a little weak. That’s never a good sign. She gets the car to sputter after a few tries, *whew* that was close. A little revving to warm it up, listen to the engine smoothing out some, adjust the choke, lightly rev — it conks out. She fires it back up, let’s it idle and checks the choke again …ok, we’re good. She puts it in reverse and stalls it. Now it’s not starting again.
Next, she gets in the Cadillac to start it up and take it instead. It starts way easier than the Volvo, that’s a good sign, right? A little warm up revving to get it smoothed out with the drivers door open. It stalls on her a time or two but she gets it fired right back up. A little more light revving and all is well…or is it? *dun dun DUUUUUUUN!*
