I already purchased the new one, cheap, no worries. ($10)
I sure appreciate you all! While my friend was putting the meter to electrical things (gosh, I sound as blonde as I have been!!), I cleaned every contact I could find. I wish I knew the correct name for things so I could describe what I'm looking at!

The problem is this: She won't start, there is juice to everything else, and I accidently connected the two cables going TO the relay and it started to turn over, but since I had pulled the gas tank, (basically just cleaning and getting acquainted she didn't start, just turned over a little) of course when I jumped back (and yelled AGH!!) and dropped whatever I had in my hand that I arc-ed the connection with it quit too, broke the connection anyway.

It was originally purchased in coastal Maine, and I can't imagine the moist salty air is much good for anything metal, so cleaning all the contacts (and checking connections) I thought would be a good idea.
