Re: Starting trouble, any ideas?

I would start out step by step starting with the starter. Why doesn't 
it work? Is the starter bad or is there a wiring problem that is also 
affecting the ignition circuit? It sounds like there is no high 
voltage. There are no shortcuts, you must troubleshoot and repair the 
problems one by one in a logical order. To get the motor to run you 
must have fuel, ignition, and a mechanicaly sound engine. The buzzing 
you hear is probably the frequency valve in the fuel circuit which 
would be a good indicator that the missing ingredient is ignition. 
Check out the start and primary ignition circuits.
