starting not happening...888

[johnzonh]

hi all..

just posted another issue with our trim..but now I have another...after several weeks of working on an unrelated issue with our 888 ford 302.... and no problems starting...finally tried to turn the engine again and heard nothing but zapps in the back....am i looking at just some connection tightening or some real issues? battery is powering everthing ELSE just fine. need some fast answers..i need to get this in the water soon.

heard nothing but zapps in the back....

Hearing "zapps", is an indication a high amperage connection is loose. Clean and tighten battery and starter wires, both + and ground.
