Hello all,
I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dennis. I live on Maui island. I just recently (last couple months) became interested in the M1078’s that have been selling rather low out here in Hawaii. After lurking on this site, perusing valuable research information I decided to pull the trigger and landed myself this gem. Super low miles, factory a/c, clean clean clean (from the pictures at least). I still gotta pay and fill out the EUC form which apparently takes weeks to verify. When I’m cleared for pickup I’ll need to fly over to Oahu from Maui to “get it started” and get it on the boat and have it shipped over.
I’d like to be as prepared as possible for the trip to pick it up. What is my best, least expensive batteries option? I’ll need to bring tools on the plane. Battery changing tools, jumper cables, multimeter. Could someone lead me to some links on troubleshooting a no start situation? Auction said would not start but the pictures of the dash show oil pressure, tank pressures volts etc. I hope for the best but want to be prepared for the worst. I’ll be on a different island without a car possibly.
Any help with a tools checklist?
How to troubleshoot a no start situation?
What relays are involved?
Should I try to bring a starter solenoid?
How to jump the solenoid?
I am still trying to navigate the search feature here on the site and will do my best to answer all my questions. Any help is sincerely appreciated.
