I respect everything you said GS….. but not all of us have the ability or knowledge to tackle bigger things. I know when to draw the line and send it to someone who knows what the hell they're doing. I don't have a problem with that, all I was trying to say. The key is having someone who is not only good, but trustworthy..someone you've built up a good working relationship with. Then you don't get raped, and it comes back fixed correctly. To me, it's sometimes better than spending time trying to figure something out, then find out you've done something incorrectly or screwed it up royally….eventually sending it off to your guy and hoping he can save the day for you. Then you conclude it would have been cheaper and less hassle sending it out in the first place….peace.

I just got back from my old man's place where I was fully prepared to fire it up, let it puke and see where it's coming from. Oil pan in place, oil cap off and flashlight ready. Hit the start button....DEAD. Plugged it in, will try another day. ho hum. The good news is that I am now comfortable in executing this task thanks to the pitcrew.

If the battery was completely dead then plugging it into a trickle charger ain't gonna do it.
If the battery is completely dead you have to hook it up to a car charger for about 1 -1.5 hours. No more than that or you will cook the battery.
Now lets deal with the elephant in the room.
Why was the battery dead?

The battery wasn't dead, it turned it over a few times then my dumb *** realized I didn't pull the enricher out. So when I did, by he third crank, it didn't have enough juice to turn it. I even tried the plunger on the starter and there just wasn't enough to get it turned. I plugged it in, it will be fine. I think the other reason the battery was low is because the last time I cranked it, I didn't let it run long because the oil scared me. Before that, it hadn't been touched in two months. So with any luck, I'll head out there another day and fire it.
When you said dead battery I thought it didn't even crank.
