Thanks to those of you who took the time to make suggestions as to my weird no start problem. Recall I was about to park Moo for the winter - turned off the ignition after a trouble free season... and she refused to start just moments later. The problem? A dead battery. Bought a five dollar hydrometer - it think its a hydrometer - and four of 6 cells were well below the "take action" mark. The battery WAS four years old after all. Bought a replacement and now the westy is tucked away in my new garage till some time in April! Ain't life grand with a list eh?
