And this car is supposed to be getting me around town to get the parts to get my Toyota running!
My favorite Subaru forum has been down all week..
For a while now, my clock would reset itself every now and then. I just had the carb rebuilt, and after it came back from the shop, 6 times out of 10 when I start it up, the clock would be reset. The last couple days, I turn the key and it just clicks. I would think that means starter, but what's up with the battery? Tried hitting the starter with a hammer, didn't help.

I would start by checking all the connections. Battery cables, grounds and starter.

Ok, thanks. I cleaned off the terminals but I haven't looked too hard for missing grounds or wires yet.

Well, I guess the terminals were just really dirty. I had cleaned them off a bit with a toothbrush at work the other day, got most crap off (I thought), but didn't have access to baking soda at the time, and it still wouldn't start. Today at lunch I looked around but no loose grounds or anything so I got out the baking soda and water and actually dipped the wire terminals in it...maybe not a good idea but whatever. I waited for it to dry and it started right up! Thanks
