    Greetings All! My 4600 refused to start today - cranks fine but no start. Of note, I do not hear the normal "click" when I turn on the key. I had problems with the thermistor in the past and replaced it - it solved past cold weather problems. I shorted the wires leading to the thermistor...

    Thermistor Replacement

    Got a similar problem with my 4600 (~1200 hrs) - no start but cranks fine. Suspected the thermistor based on the comments here. It was a real PITA to access - used the suggestions in this and other threads. Removed the fuse box and was barely able to get access (very tight wire harness) -...
