I have a 2002 LB7 and this past weekend the engine would not crank. This happened once before for a short time on Labor Day but finally cranked. The initial time the engine started up just fine, ran for 10 seconds and cut off. Not to crank again for an hour or so. No problems at all until this past weekend.

This weekend it started Saturday mornign for 10 seconds and then shut down. Had to have it towed back home (thank goodness less than 100 miles and for AAA!) to the dealership.

I pumped the primer and got a half pump of air out Saturday, and then primed it after I closed the vent screw. Nothing, at all, it just turned over. The dealership called and said it started for them, but they can't get it to stop now! Does this sound elecrtical to anyone? Any experence with this type of malfunction?

Thanks for the help.
