Actually, while folding my sheets, thought came to me that it might just be the battery itself that needs replacing.
If it was the alt, it might refuse to turn over due to the battery being drained, but it wouldn't then turn over after being allowed to cool down...... that's what I'm thinkin. It must either be the battery or the connection(s) on there.
Better late than never :shrug:
edit: wait, when he says "clicked" he doesn't mean turned over w/ out firing, does he

To me that means clicked but not enough juice for the battery to turn the starter, it seems so clear but everyone's got a different description:dunno:
