    VFR won't start

    Was fine until a week ago when the battery died. Just dropped a new one in, and it cranks but won't fire. Any ideas?

    Kill switch?

    What's the difference between a bolt and a screw?
    First you screw, then you bolt.

    I am, admittedly, about as far from Mr. Goodwrench as one could be, but why would replacing the battery impact the kill switch?

    I meant to check to be sure it didn't get bumped to the off position accidentally, not to imply that it was related to the battery issue.

    Well, I did what any IT guy would say to do. I unplugged it, plugged it back in and it fired up! We'll chalk this one up to gremlins.

    "Have you tried turning it off and turning it on?"

    might not have had a good solid connection ?

    glad it's fixed...
