PS: Typing this I didn't want to look TOO STUPID by interchanging engine and motor. So....

"engine = a device that uses combustion or heat to produce motion
motor = a device that converts electric (or hydraulic) energy into motion"

Now you are educated!

I also subscribe to "both" starting requirements, AND Engine vs Motor definition!

Great post Ted!

Since 95 that has never happened to me again.

Wish I could lay claim to being the genius who figured it out, but I am happy just being the follower as I have never had to fiddle with it again.

However, if no one claims ownership to this idea, I likely will simply decree that the "Marty ZR-1 Starting Theorem" was discovered in the early 90's and that someone should nominate me for the Nobel prize or build a statue or something.
Maybe just award me $10,000,000.00 instead.

By the way.
It works.

Thanks, I downloaded Marc's "Finding and Fixing Vacuum Leaks" and will begin going through the systems this weekend to see what is going on.

Order a new map hose from Jerry's every ZR-1 I have owned the hose gets oil saturated over time and does not hold as well.

I looked at his website today. I am less than an hour away so may just take a nice ride down Route 66 and pick it up in person.
