Thought you guys around here might want to share in my misery.
After a freak set of unlikely circumstances (a combination of failed fuel pressure regulator, vacuum and gravity feed), the entire engine filled with fuel... so next morning it just went "click" when I went to start it. Never once turned over, so thought it was just a failed starter motor.
Anyway, finally got the engine open last week... I now have this souvenir on my desk.
Who would have thought that a start motor had that much punch?
I think I'll make a light stand out of it.
