whats up Josh ? And no(it cant be that easy or it would spoil all the fun) I'm charging the battery now so I can check why I'm not getting spark,of course I don't have another condenser.I'll have to grab one tomarrow,but theres only a couple things it could be I guess.Arron let me use this starter thing you hook to the starter and I can start it from the back(very cool)The condenser is fairly new,I think the battery might have been really low.Just about lost my mind after fooling with it all weekend but woke up with a good attitude this morning.Getting out tach dwell meter and I'm going to start testing stuff.

Welp I charged the battery all night , and put it back in the bus.I got nothing even with jumper cables.I must have fried the battery or from sitting for 5 months in the cold killed it. That sucks becouse it was a really nice battery(extra large merc. benz battery)Oh well doesnt suprise me at all.I'll go with the economy battery.

Don't forget, we have Spring in between winter and summer. And since you live just down the road in Brunswick and I'm in N. Royalton, we can go do some shakedown cruises in our yellow buses, and get the bugs and winter dust out.
