Re: Starting woes



Sounds like a bad ground connection for the starter. Remove the air 
box assembly. Below/in front if the coolant overflow bottle you'll 
see a red wire that is bolted onto a bare spot on the chassis. Remove 
the bolt & clean the connection (engine brite works the best). Bolt 
everything back into place & try it out. More details can be found in 
the technical library on the DMC News web site.
