Long story short, always check parts pricing across several sources.
I currently having the crank but no start issue. I determined quickly that the fusible link is bad. Contacted the local dealers and only one out of four had the link in stock but wanted $34 plus tax for it. I spoke with the parts manager and asked if they would match reputable on-line parts pricing and he said he would until I showed him that Partsorq sold them for under $9. He said there was no way for him to sell the link at that price and make money. So for essentially the same price I can have 3 units sent to me and the local dealer lost a customer and they wonder why people don't use the local dealers.
Now once I feel well I have to figure out how to remove the fuse box cover
