Thanks Bruce! Lowered it and that was the problem. I'm going to buy a new
bendix and run with it. I appreciate the help from you and Stu, both of you
had it right on the money!!
Also thanks to Wayne Tucker, I may need that starter later on and I
appreciate the offer.
Once again the great people on this list came through! This is what makes
it a great place to be a member of and I appreciate the help very much
indeed!
Best Regards,
Ed
