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.
