Subject:Re: No start, (no crank actually)

Don,

The pump comes on when you first turn the switch to on.  Does it kick-in again when you try to crank?

Try jumping the circuit either at the switch or at the starter just to be sure.  Also measure your voltage - and if you can, amperage when trying to crank - at the starter.

I just went through this dance a couple of months ago and it was actually the starter and not the switch.
