Well, I am not sure if it is low batteries or a solenoid problem. This
morning when I jumped into my trusty battle-proven M151A2 and tried to start
it, I heard what sounded like a hisssss, as in an airhose leaking. Then I
smelled some electrical "something is cooking down below" smell with smoke.
Mind you it was 0500 this morning that I experienced this wonderful military
vehicle moment as I was preparing to go hunting. Well, immediately all
switches were turned off and that was that.

Well, just a few moments ago, I tried to start it again, same hissing sound,
but no fried wire odor. I don't know if my batteries are low or what.

Any ideas?

By the way, this list is one of the greatest things going for this hobby.
As always, thanks go to everyone who have helped me out in the past.
