If I posted, 1 day after we won the national championship. that I think Hurd would be useless and Christian Little would be a key reliever for us, what do you think my downvote ratio would have been? It still doesn't make sense, but kudos to the coaches for going with what is working....

Checked the battery with multi-meter, 12.7v, all good there. Rusty connector on the red...I have cleaned it up before but it was funky again. Wire brush back to a metal color, started right up. There might be other imperfect connections, but I'll take running as success and deal with those later. It...

It hit the first start just fine, but I'm going to charge it while I explore the connections and wires. Glad to hear it might not be the solenoid....

New battery started it right up, but after parking to brush off (<10 minutes), didn't start back up. Click, no turnover. Could the alternator be good enough to run sparks but have a bad connection fo...
