Subject:      Weird No start solved
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


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?
