[T3] Backfire, no start

[Aaron Clow <cars@tiserves.com>]

<x-flowed>I went out to start Wilson this weekend. It usually takes a number of 
cranks to get the gasoline back there until it starts, and after about 
five or six seconds of cranking it sounded like it caught, then it 
backfired. After that it wouldn't crank again. If I turn the pulley by 
hand, it moves fine so everything internally seems OK. Connections on 
the starter seem fine as well. The generator & oil lights come on when I 
turn the key... Just no cranking. Any ideas where to start? It's been 
wet & my car is in the driveway so I haven't had a chance to really get 
under there & see what's up. Could I have ruined the starter?
