Forum Success Story

[pattypape]

I was traveling alone, Sunday, returning from the Myrtle Beach Rally.
The plan was to meet Patty in Savanna, I had some time to kill and
stopped at a National Forest Visitor Center. When it was time to
leave the Cat would not start, With meter in hand, a few wrenches
and a heavy duty jumper cable, I decided the starter was dead.
Lots of time to kill until Cat opened the next day. So I called a
few forum members for some moral support and to confirm my find,
Sunday afternoon I could not contact anyone, no one at home.

My first call back was Ralph the Ground wire expert. I told him all
the testing and checking I had done. Ralph persisted to recheck
the grounds, I just installed new batteries, and cleaned all the
battery grounds. Ralph persisted again, the starter ground, ( I
cleaned this ground about two years ago). A quick connections with
the jumper cable and the Cat was purring, I was stranded with that
sinking feeling, In five minutes I was up and running. All made
possible by a forum member. I have read every post since the
beginning of time, I just can not remember them all , when stranded
and bewildered..

Many thanks to Ralph and all forum members.
