I understand perfectly.

If there’s “prevarication” involved, it’s in the concept that any of my Male Family Members knows anything about the van engine. You’d think Tom would know something vaguely related, after most of a semester of Diesel Heavy Equipment class, but nope.

Starter circuitry is the simplest thing in an automobile. The starter only operates under one condition, when juice from the battery is sent to the solenoid.

If your mechanic can’t figure out why that ain’t happening, he ain’t a mechanic.

I like to tell the guys in the shops around here, “You’re the mechanic, make it work!” This usually gets a wry nod at fate’s cruelty.
