so i'm leaving a very long day at work lasty night and all is well, i get in the super, put key in, all lights up but the thing won't turn over... great so i go and check the coil cause my lead always comes loose, nah i replaced that finally so it's fine, check all other wiring, good... through up the backseat, battery and regulator all hooked up and good... check fuses, all good... still no juice, so i rock it back in forth in third thinking the starter is for some reason stuck... nothin doin... pop the front, nothing disconnected,, oh yeah, remember that one time my starter wire came loose... so i grab my lighter and poke around and come up up with a hand full of fur... crap, some thing died under there... so i spot the tail and do some pulling and what do ya know, four cats have crawled up under there and made a little nest for the day... and in the meantime unhooked my starter... then after cleaning up found that i had just locked my keys in the car, luckily bugs are easy to break into... moral to the story, when all else fails god throughs a cat in your motor, so ya just never know....

Why check the coil if it won't turn over?

Cause befor I replaced it the wire from the front would slip off. But at the time I didn't remember that the motor would
That the motor would turn still if it wasn't connected. plus I had put in elec points and didn't know if it
Would behave diffrently
