    Well, my starter button finally broke and fell out of the hole. I still have the pieces.

    Seems to me I saw a post on here one time about a suggestion for starter button repairs.

    Anyone remember that?

    Just start it the old fasion way using a screw driver to jump the solenoid. Just make sure it has a rubber handle because shocking yourself doing it isn't a pleasent experience (don't ask, just trust). That should get you by until you repair your button.

    Thanks JoeFriday.

    I was able to get there already using the search function.

    I had never paid attention that we had a search feature on this forum.

    I was once ignorant, but now am so wise...and finally up to 3rd gear!

    WOOHOO!!
