Yesterday after fiddling with the carbs I took the car out for a short ride and returned home and shut the car off. I wanted to back it into the garage but it wouldn't start. I drained the battery some so I put it on a battery tender for awhile. Sometime after, I restarted the car but heard a loud noise like the fan blade was hitting something so I shut it down again. When I turned the ignition key without pressing the starter I heard the same loud noise. The motor wasn't running or turning. I have suspicions that it was the solenoid but can't confirm. I started the car and eventually it went away.
Is there a problem hooking up a battery tender to a positive ground vehicle? Red to positive, black to negative. Don't know whether that caused the problem or not but nothing else was done. Car is new to me and I have a lot to learn.
