Hey Gang,
After a winter of fixing and upgrades, tires/wheels/bogie greasers/new fuel&vent lines/mech fuel pump & electric boost fuel pump/oil/filter change/(((much more)).
I hooked up the batteries and went to spin the motor without setting the choke to get oil pressure on the guage.
What I got was a nice clunk as the bendix engaged and then nothing, everything was silent.
The radio has power still.
Turning the key does nothing, even kills the radio until I release the key.
Nothing to the starter, nothing to the air pump.
No change when I go to boost position (although I can hear the solenoid click)
No history of problems with the starter, though it was replaced by me in 1996.
I have plugged it in to charge the batteries (with a Yandina Combiner) until tomorrow.
But I got nothing, not even a chatter indicating a low battery.

It anyone has a suggested diagnostic path for tomorrow morning, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Doug
