Default Ground.

The starter grounds against the transmission Case. Corrosion can build up and the starter no longer grounds properly.

You likely need to remove the starter, clean mounting area and then try it.

Default Yup.

Already paid for the booth. Still have to decide what product is going down.

I'll be arriving Thursday, doing set-up friday for a bit (!) and leaving monday. Should be a nice relaxed trip.

Any good mountian biking in Jersey?
