Starting Issues - Not a dead battery.

Ok, thanks buddy. I'll give that a shot... once it gets cold again. It's back to warm weather in FL so it starts on the first try!

another old school trick that the "tapper" can do is to jump the power terminal of the starter to the switch lead. You can use a screwdriver to make contact between both. Not sure the technical terms for these but, it should make the starter spin. If not, starter or solenoid is bad... or the wiring, as was already mentioned.

good luck!
