the real kicker is that when i got home from work in the evening, i decided to see if it would start just for the hell of it, and sure enough it cranked right over like usual and ran just fine, a little rich but nice and strong as it should. so thats where i am a little confused. could i have put in a bad starter or maybe the starter is not consistently getting power? where would be a good place to start? thanks everyone & have a good week.
