we all know something. But a few know everything, or at least most everything that helps,(you know who you are).

that’s what makes this forum a nice place to visit.

It can't be borewash. The symptoms described (albeit a decade ago) are that the engine won't crank. Borewash doesn't stop the engine cranking.

what would cause it not to crank?
1. Dead or low battery
2. Bulkhead joint?
3. Bad starter
