Went to start up the van for a perspective buyer and it tried to turn over, but not much happened.
 Sounded like the starter was trying to do it's job, just not much UMPH!

THe van has not been run since about October 06, but I did start it up (no driving) once or twice
during the winter (on nice days).

My wife said that things were turning over very slowly in the engine compartment, but when she
tried the key and I watched, nothing turned, but items were trying to turn over.

I have a full 110 V battery charger (on full power) to the battery (during start efforts) so I
assume that the battery is giving full charge.

I can turn the engine over by hand (using the belts) so the engine is NOT stuck.

I've heart of hammering on the solenoid or the starter,  Does one use a hard hammer?? or a rubber mallet????
