Hello from the Southern Tier of N.Y. No, unfortunately we haven't gotten his Z repaired. Have tried many fix's but no luck yet. Will truck it to my mechanics shop but am still open for comments. I have until May 7th to get it fixed and it will be. Can't let my Marine recruit down. Will let all know when it is completed. Thanks, SEMPER-FI,CPL D.A. Cook

 

if u have to jump it to get it to turn over i am thinking starter. if its not going to the shop right away you could take the starter out and have it tested. take the battery with u and have it tested to.

 

These guys are right it sounds like the starter. Does it have the M6 in it? If so push it down the steepest hill you can find and hold the gas pedal to the floor, that is just what I would try, or you can pull the starter and kick it over with a jump box or battery charger to ensure that the bendix kicks and rotates. You will get to the bottom of it in time!

 

Marine boot camp is only 3 months...ish right that can't be enough for the fuel to go bad is it? Is there any corrosion on the terminals?
