Thanks Scott. The Wheel bearing thing was not making noise for that long - and not consistently - I, in my silly still noviceness assumed it was breaks and had all the new brake stuff when the wheel came off. I do have the bearings for the other side - have not installed them just yet - been side tracked with this not running situation. As ofr the other - I suppose it could be flooded - I didn't think to pull a plug and have a look see. I have been stuck on this test light not pulsing thing today. If it were flooded would it still fire up that easily when spraying starting fluid in? I've probably gotten myself way off track with this but I just can't seem to figure out why it won't start. I'm not sure how long the battery was dead - it wasn't completely dead but drained enough it wouldn't crank. I think the radio go left on one day after we were working on it. I know jump starting isn't the best thing but at the time we needed to check our work and wanted to make sure we had everything with that wheel back together. -- Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '90 Carat (Grover - the noble parts donor) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
