Colossal idiot here - it was the Kill switch. I never use it, but had inadvertently hit it and - when she didn't start, that put be into a mental spin...which for me isn't a productive state of mind. Thanks to everyone for the assist. Now, if the temps will lower a bit, I'll get back to riding.

How long since you toggled the kill switch?

No drugs, no shortcuts. A lot gym hours and putting the fork down. Firt guy probably couldn’t run to the end of my driveway. I couldn’t bench 115 pounds. Second guy ran a 10k at 50. Bench pressing my own weight. And more importantly, I feel good.

Those who succeed come to realize they have effectively made a lifestyle change, and it is to be maintained as such. The benefits are not just physiological, but psychological as well. You did this--no one did it for you. Savor the sense of satisfaction and well-being--you earned it. Resist the urge to look critically upon others who have not your sense of commitment and dedication (despite any obvious need on their part); but, rather provide quiet yet competent influence by continuing to lead this lifestyle of healthy example. Congrats, and carry on!

That's African American buddy. 😉

Finally got a seller who gave me what I asked. Got the 5k I was looking for.

LOL, though this year I've had a lot less sun than usual and I feel ... white. Hopefully it's enough to keep me from getting a free one way ticket to Guatemala?

Wow, I didn't know any of that. Maybe if I worked on cars I'd have a clue. I've replaced many compressors and clutches, never with OEM, and none have been an issue. Also, many "OEM" parts for old cars are rebuilt, not new, and could be coming from the same guy who does them for the parts stores. For the extra money spent you get a Ford box and shorter warrantee. And you're wrong about the "big cost" of replacing a compressor, assuming yours needs to be replaced. If yours "tore up" the bulk of the cost will be cleaning and replacing the parts that became contaminated with compressor shrapnel. Most "failed" Ford compressors I've deal with just needed the clutch adjusted or replaced.

Sounds like you might have some good friends.🤣 I had trouble starting my Stihl Blower a few days ago. Turns out I couldn't remember which way the on/off switch was supposed to go. I absolutely hate when they use symbols instead of words. "I" on one side and "O" on the other. How hard is it to put the words "on" and "off" on a thumb switch?

Let's make sure we both agree on the squatter thing...... I define "squatter" as the reason I will never, ever own another rental property.

You're right, I glanced at the old 809 and put that in my mind. $120 is still great.

Buy the one that can exert the most force on a 20V battery. Trust me on this one. MAX XR - Maximum Torque - 500 Inch Pounds ATOMIC 20V MAX - Torque - 1825 Inch Pounds

ive never had one fail yet but i have had the neutral switch fail a few times as well as the clutch switch.

possibly the kill switch,as xxitanium says . are you trying to start it with the bike on the centre stand with the sidestand up. is it in gear and side stand down,is it in neutral and sidestand down but neutral light not on .if so its a faulty neutral switch . Just checked on my 99 model with bike in gear and sidestand down.the fuel pump still cycles .

Thanks to everyone and especially Carlos. This is your idea come to life.

So, it just comes naturally?

Much better lol. sorry, I didn’t mean to come off like a Cunt.

The last billing cycle we used 507kwh. Then I added another EV and we started using the AC, this month's usage will be just over 300kwh thanks to the solar power.

Did you have to cut the cases to get the 38 to fit? 😆

And if the shitbag/buttplug victim doesn't have a trailer ball you can stick one half to the bumper or tailgate and still get the visual effect for half the cost.

It was higher-end Chinesium metal, not Walmart, but the cushions were not as promised. I had put a five year "anything that happens" warranty on it, which paid us the full cost back ($600) since they couldn't repair it. So it was free, other than the repairs. On top of that it matches everything else much better than it did. I didn't like the colors at all, but loved the function and solid metal.

Yup, the two sides swing up to face each other.

The fan is a non-issue. An easy DIY replacement. The big cost of AC repair is the leak testing and recharging of the system. If the compressor tears up, the bulk of the cost is the labor and replacement refrigerant, not the compressor.
