dogboystoy Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 I have done similar crap, as I was reading your story, I was like "its the battery man", but you couldnt hear me. So I kept reading. Boy, I would kick my own ass if I did that. Did you take the starter back? I would Quote
cb67rs1 Posted January 30, 2004 Author Report Posted January 30, 2004 na they will not take it back. owell so im out 125 bucks for a starter. i dont have to worry about it going out and if it does, i have a lifetime warranty Quote
BansheeBrian Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 i didnt just have the biggest brian fart did I? Were you referring to me? I get them too.Just about as severe. Baking soda and a little water works good on corrosion. Quote
txblueshee Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 On a good note your avatar is PHUCKING SMOKIN!!!! Mike Quote
boonman Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 I'mdown with the avatar as well!!! But, how about this starter story. I was sitting sat the hockey rink one day, in my S-10. (The one with the small block) I was doing some paperwork before the season, (I'm the captain, had to get the roster and shit together), when all of the sudden, the engine just starts turning over. I was sittin there with the radion on, and that was it. Well, I have a seperate ignition switch, (aside from the key) so I flick it on (which turns on the fuel pump relay and the distributor power) and she fires right up. BUT, the starter is still spinning. I shut it down, and it is still turning over. I'm like WTF!!!! Now I get , and hop out, shit turnign over, peeps looking at me funny. I pop the hood. Starter is now smokin. I run to the back, pop the rear window, yank the tool box out. I run back to the front, and I seriously thought that the thing was gonna burn up for sure. well, I didn't have a 5/16 wrench to get the battery terminal off. So, I grabbed the next best thing. Some dykes!! I cut the power wire to the starter and it stopped. So now I'm like WTF do I do now???? Well, I finished up my business, and came back out. I flipped the ignition switch on, and walked to the front of the rig. In true Frankenstein fashion, I grabbed each end of the wire, and pulled a Christopher Lloyd in Back To the Future and stuch the wire back together, sparking all over the place. Well, the starter turned over and she fired up. So, I hop in, and drove to the parts store. I did it again at the parts store, and went home. Changed the starter, and all was well. BUT, what if I wasn't in the rig when it did it. For sure it would have burned up. Oh well. I hate starters...... Quote
H300F Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 hahahahaha boonman thats damn funny. someone came into where i work one day with their pickup and he couldnt turn the engine off. Quote
