Ok, the "friend" was me
I pulled the starter and had it tested. It is good.
Why is it not always starting when I turn the key?
I get 3 lights, now identified as Oil, Battery and Preheat.
Waiting 30 to 45 seconds has no effect on the lights.
I then try the key... Some times it starts right up and some times nothing.
No clicks from the starter, just a click from the fuel shutoff solenoid.
I get the Preheat light every time. Temps have been 60 - 85 outside.
Do I just need to wait longer for it to go out?
Are there any switches (safety?) from the key to the starter, that may be intermittently failing?
Thanks,
