hi, disconnect the wire from the starter solenoid ( the skinny one) then put a new wire on it, and connect it to the battery positive terminal, it should still turn over. if it still makes that funny noise then its the starter. by the way, is the flywheel tight? mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Firman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 3:50 PM Subject: Help!
