If you guys just solved my problem, I'm gonna be one happy camper =) hee hee

I spent yesterday tuning up Poncho, my bus, and all was running great, 
just purring along, and then, whammo, she dies, and won't start again.  
It sounds like the cuttoff switch to me.

*Geez, now I'm gonna have to change back all the things I f*ck'd with 
trying to get it to start.


I knew I liked this mailing list for a reason =)
