Today Anthony came out and gave my busted FC a once over. After unflooding it we discovered the problem was my starter was burned up and not spinning the engine fast enough. With a few more rpms it will almost certainly fire right up. It tried all afternoon.

He's a good guy. Really helped me a lot and it's appreciated. I'll be sure to post some pictures once we get it all worked out.

p.s. Anthony, the new starter will be here in the morning and I'll get it swapped in just as soon as it stops raining and I can get the jack up under the car.

 

If that starter wasn't bad before, it probably is after I got through with it.

 

well, I've got the new one in hand but it stomred here real bad so I won't be able to get under the car until it dries out some.
