www.fostertruck.com Check all his parts out for your truck as he is great to deal with and has some excellent parts. I might suggest to take it off and try cleaning it first and if the boot is trash make one out of some rubber, like a bicycle tube as suggested here by someone that has had good luck with making thier own, fosters also sells new boots, but by looking at it the bicycle tube would work.. Unless it has been burnt up electricly they can be cleaned. Goodluck,,Rick

 

Try peirs diesel he did have some a while back.

 

I talked to Dave(i think?) at Foster Truck. Awesome dude! He talked me through some stuff and said that mainly its the relay if you can get the truck to run by manualy pulling on the shaft. So we are going to try the relay first and see where it takes us. Thanks much!

It's either the relay or the blue fusible link from the battery 99% of the time. Glad that Dave talked you out of a needless expense.

 

Bill, where is that fusible link located? Do you know what gauge it is?

 

Robert, the blue link comes off the drivers side positive battery post clamp.
Not sure on the gauge, but on fusible links the color indicates the amperage rating. Pink- 30, Green- 40, Red- 50, Yellow- 60, Black- 80, Blue- 100.
All you need do is ask for the color fusible link you need at the auto parts.
