Stubborn Starter... seeing fuel on ground
My starter is obviously going bad because when I attempt to crank it I hear a loud, free-spinning sound from the starter. When I "SMACK" it with a long dowell rod it will then start the car. I can handle that. However when I attempted the same process this morning the starter turned very slow and then I saw fuel all over the driveway. Does this have anything to do with the repeated attempts to start and it just flooded very bad or what? Please help.
