yea, its cause I suck for sure....

the first time it started right up and purred like a kitten for 15sec before it just died. not sure if that was a fuel supply issue or what but it was definitely an "accessory failure" and not a "motor issue"

ok, well it idled for a bit but it was making a very strange noise while doing so, almost like a soft diesel clack.

runs great other than that...but I said that last time....coincidence....ugh
