He said it bump starts easy,immediately, or sumthing like that! My guess new 12 battery cables. When my starter mounted switch quit, it shot out sparks, no smoke! Anyone know how to put sparks back in wiring? I know how to put smoke back in wires :-) When i was a teen working for dad, we had to date stamp new batteries, the number stamps where on a metal ring and i made the ring mad at me, it got soooo mad it turned red and burnt my fingers, only once!
