Everyone: Thanks for the input. I replaced the 30 amp fuse like i was instructed and it started up right away. Brad brings up a good point. Could it be heat related. I guess I should have tried starting it before replacing the fuse, but i immediately changed the fuse and it worked. I looked at the fuse and it still looked good. However, it was an OLD fuse. Only time will tell if it is heat related. Ray
