@mismi,

take one of the plug wires off, and get another plug to connect to it. ground the plug on the exhaust manifold and see if you get a spark when you have a helper crank the motor.

if you have spark, you prolly need a new electric fuel pump.

but we can test further first.

also, you might try thumping on the tank to see if you can coax the pump to work again for a short while, once you decide it might be a fuel problem...

I almost hit a fox on my way home from - gosh - somewhere the other night. Scared me to death.

It serves him better to hang near you. You are the the gravy train baby.

@mismi,

spring is apparently in the air.

big cat fight yesterday after I fed the outside wildcats.

I stepped out to see what all the catterwauling was about.

all the girls were attacking Neptune.

even baby kitty was jumping on and wailing.

@Rockhead,

All the roosters I have ever seen are flat out Darwinians. To a cock.

I don't know about the hens though.
