Good evening.

1985 Cherokee 2.8 motor. 5 speed trans 4WD

I sure thought I saw a thread about this but cant find it now. My apologies if this has been asked and answered on another thread.
I just got this rig up and running a couple of weeks ago after buying it not running 2 years ago. New carb fresh oil and it started and ran okay. Still needed some tuning but it ran down the road pretty well. Now for the issue.

I had it running in the garage one day for about 10 minutes. I came back out in it quit. It would not even crank. I check the basics like battery connections battery charge, alt connections etc. Still would crank. 2 days later I came out and ill be darned, it started. After a few small trip to the store close by I went for a ride around the county. I was up on slight hill and it quit. It wouldn't even crank. It had power to the radio and the key buzzer but would not crank. I rolled down the hill to jump start it and nothing at all. No fire even with a bump start.

I started with the basics like battery is okay, Tested the starter and it is OK. I put new battery cables and everything in that department is okay. I checked all of the fuses and they are all OK. Still no crank. Electrical is one thing I know nothing about but shocking the heck out of myself! I have no idea of where to go from here.

Can anyone start to lead me in a direction to get this thing back up and running? If you know about the thread I am referring to feel free to pass me along . I look forward to hearing where to go next>

Thank you
