    change your flux capacitor!

    For real tho, your battery is prob so low it wont jump. Get some good(not cheap) jumper cables and let it sit charging from other vehicle for bout 10 min then crank. Or get one of your homies batteries that works and put it on yours and see if it cranks. I accept cash or credit! PM for billing info.

    Sounds like you have a locked up piston return spring causing the motor to seize. Best price i could find on them is here...

    Buy a new battery man. That happened to me, tried to jump and still wouldnt start. Your battery is probably toast. I bought another battery and bam, fired right up.

    If its just clicking its not getting power.. Try and push start it. If it will roll start run a push button to starter and bam!

    i do know one thing..The people in bama that work in parts stores belong on a farm. Go to numerous places, get it tested. I had a bad alternator* but he kept telling me it was fine. ( hooked it up wrong.) I know its hard to hook up a battery wrong but fine another battery first. Without 12v, your stuck right there.
