I spent six hours today. Drove to a store, in the next city over.
Ladder the building. Go diagnose. Come down. Talk with the store
people. Go out back and find the problem.

National Grid had not yet turned on the gas valve at the meter. No
natural gas. Like your 8 hours for a hammer whack. Lot of road time.

You're wise to replace that starter ASAP. I hope you got gas money,
and a good quality dinner for your troubles.

Glad to hear you got it started, but you drove 8 hrs to whack it with
a
hammer? Surely there was somebody there who could have done that!
