total guess, but I figure a shop will charge 1hr for the little guy.

I wouldn't doubt that there is a t-shirt out there like that dusty! But seriously.. you could take his t-shirt saying 2 different ways. He either is so bad looking he makes dirt look good, or he's so sexy that he makes dirt look good when he's wearing it. I assume he meant the latter.. either way it made me laugh. His cologne was a little overpowering though

Yes, if it is the CPS then I would rather pay someone else to do it...

Hi there - no, it doesn't turn over and over, it starts turning over and then stops - like it couldn't.....quite................. get there. That's the only way I can describe it. It starts to turn over, decides that it's too pooped and then unwinds or fizzles out. So then I sit there, swear a bit, sigh, try again and it starts up fine.

Now it sounds like battery or starter as he mentioned. Or, loose electrical connection.

K, then you need to check your battery connections, and battery condition (you can have a battery store "load test" the battery). Its not your CPS. If it were your CPS your engine would keep turning over for eternity and not start up. Your starter sounds tired, they too when hot act up...

Will do, thanks. Battery is a little over a year old - I'll check the connections tonight. Something tells me that it's probably the starter motor though...

agree. misunderstood. thought it was trying and trying after it gets warm. only to crank when it cools a bit.
sounds like a terminal/ connection and you probably bumped it around more when the res. was replaced

Hey, what's with this little guy bit I stand 5'7" short in my socks but I'm as 'versatile as a egg' thankfully I don't look like one apart from the increasing lack of hair

Anyways, the PC expression should be "vertically challenged"

I think KD has led a sheltered life even in the oil game and some of the courser expressions pass her by

eh? Yes Offroad, I'm as pure as the Michigan driven snow

I saw his 'little guy' comment. Don't you worry your versatile egg over it

What does it mean though when you ask a guy 'how are you?' and the first thing out of his mouth is 'I'm sweating'. Does that mean anything or is he really just sweating? I was puzzled by that one...

I thought little guy was referring to the CPS.

Well in the typical person's mind, that would be the logical thought SuperSport. Not so when it comes to Offroad
