Does this happen to anyone else???
So I've been back and forth troubleshooting the starter on my 70 C10. Replaced the solenoid first, no good. Kept the solenoid for a spare and just replaced the starter. Then I had the wrong length bolts for the new starter. Still working on that one. Meanwhile, the solenoid on my 72 K20 goes out the same day I buy the starter for the C10. What are the odds of that?
But wait, it gets better. I get home tonight, crawl under the K20 in the dark and replace the solenoid. With that done, the starter works perfectly and she fires right up. Then dies. Try to start it up again and it doesn't even try to fire. I doublecheck the wiring connections and everything looks good and checks out within specs on the multimeter. After cranking for a bit, there's a conspicuous lack of gasoline smell.... The gauge reads fine and has always worked well in the past. Turns out the gauge has decided to stop working as well, and there was JUST enough fuel for it to fire up and then die. I guess I should be happy that I didn't get stranded somewhere and it happened to run out in my driveway. So after that long winded story, my question is this... Does anyone else have these seemingly unrelated things just happen in bunches? Posted via Mobile Device
