Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine valve moves freely and is not stuck . (Don 't  mistake  normal spring 
tension for a  stuck  valve.) Top the side of the carburetor sharply several times  with a light  tool such as a screwdriver handle or pliers.  Replace the air cleaner and attempt to start the engine in the normal manner. IE) If the cor will start but stalls when hot or has a rough  idle, 
you can suspect  a faulty IDLE ADJUSTMENT, a  malfunctioning AUTOMATIC  CHOKE or on extremely dirty and blocked AIR CLEANER ELEMENT. Replace paper element air cleaner if necessary. Idle' adjustment or automatic choke service  (other than that outlined in paragraph 0 above) should be performed by your Chevrolet Dealer. If the above Fuel System checks and the checks suggested under the Electrical System following do not correct the malfunction, it is recommended that you  return  to your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer for further checks,  adjustments or repairs. 
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM • If, when the ignition  key is turned  to "Start", the engine will not 
turn over, you have good reason to suspect electrical trouble. NOTE: Never remove  Delcotron bat lead without  first disconnecting 
baHery  ground cable. 
, (F) When there is no response at all to attempts to start the car, check the obvious-your AUTOMATIC  TRANSMISSION SELECTOR LEVER must be in Neutral or Park position (manucil transmission 
must have clutch depressed all the way to  floor) before the engine can be started. Turning the IGNITION  SWITCH rapidly back and forth several times will sometimes correct a poor internal switch contact. (G) The BATTERY may be discharged. If so, lights  will be dim and the horn will have a poor tone if it will  blow at all. Usually a garage recharge will be necessary to return the bottery to operation. Occasionally, however, a long  drive  will recharge the battery.

NOTE: If the battery is determined to be dead, and for no apparent reason, have your Authorized Chevrolet  Dealer check the 
baHery, the GENERATOR and the  VOLTAGE  REGULATOR. 
GENERATOR  trouble should already have been indicated by the generator indicator light on the instrument  panel. 
POOR BATTERY CONNECTIONS may be suspected if the car has operated properly a short time before and now  not even the horn will operate. Check both ends of both battery cables. If the connections are corroded, a cor may sometimes be restored to operation  by removing all cable ends, scraping all contacting surfaces clean with  a pen  knife, and reassembling. If the cables are broken, they must be replaced. The power supply should now be restored unless  the battery is dead. 
(H) If, however, the lights and horn work properly but the starter will  still not turn  over, check the STARTER connections.  A "dick" from the starter solenoid  indicates that the wiring to the starter is properly installed. If the wiring  seems to be clean and tightly installed, the trouble is probably in the starter itself and should be referred to your Authorized Chevrolet Dealer. 
When the engine will "turn over" but will not start, the following 
items  may be checked along with the Fuel Systems Checks listed 
previously. 
(I) With  a clean dry cloth, wipe the ceramic portions of the spark plugs dry. In particularly damp or rainy weather dampness may be the cause of not starting, especially  when the engine is cold. 
(J) Check the cables at the top of the distributor and coil as well Distributor and Coil Cables
