JFYI the crash kill switch is down there...at least on mine. If you ever hit a hard bump the switch can trip and kill the engine. But it's up high enough that somebodies foot won't get into it. I had thought about that but I think it works off impact. Didn't sound like you were wheeling.
Glad you got er goin

Thanks daveb, that is good to know. Was able to finish some projects so check out my tread under show and tell.

I believe that just shuts the fuel pump off - but the starter will still crank.

Yeah I've been told that. One of the reasons I didn't think it was his problem. Nice to know for sure though. Thanks Ramsey.

Great information. Thanks for all the help.

Ah so it was a maintenance induced failure. Good to hear it only cost ego points instead of dollars to get it fixed.

And big of you to let everyone know what the problem was ( my ego won't let me do that)

But it does remind me of the time I walked about 5 miles back to the house because our old blitz had no drive. All because the dog knocked the hi/low box into neutral.

Ozrockrat,

If I had know about the kill switch, I would not have posted the real reason. It was only because I could blame it on SMB Texas for not telling me. I am just glad it happened in my driveway and not in the back country somewhere.
