Ok, I'm sure I screwed up but here it is. I got a late start and didn't get to charlene until after noon. I had a battery jump box, the starter, wrenches and voltmeter.
I set the starter on the tailgate and decided to hot wire it again before I install it. I hooked up the battery box to the starter and it ran like a demon . Great, I'll install it, hook it up and get her running. I got the starter on and thought I'd leave the tractor cables unhooked and hot wire it w/ the jump box.
I turned on the fuel, set the choke and opened the throttle. Hooked up the jump box cables and charlene turned over about ten seconds but didnt start. I crank her about three times and remembered the switch was off. I turned on ignition switch, cranked her again but no dice. I could smell gas and figured she flooded out.
I was hot, sweaty, and plenty ------ at myself for not following my original plan. I guess tomorrow I'll use the voltmeter and check for shorts.[/u]
