Ok, thanks. When I went back and looked, I found a blade for a spade
connector. So rusted and covered with black oil that I missed it. The wire
had a loop connector so I just cut it off and added a female connector. NOW
ALL IS GOOD.
It's really hot here now so I will wait 'til the cool of evening to try and
start it.
Thanks for the help, Guys!!
