Another learning experience Thanks again!!

She's alive again!! Hallelujah Took a ground from battery to engine mount and she came back to life!! Thanks for all your help once again!! From the mower graveyard and given new life then I killed her and brought her back to life again!! 😄

It is! I will try and new ground tomorrow after my finding earlier!

Excellent
