Three or four attempts caused the engine to crank for about one second without catching.
I removed the RCM and looked at the solder connections. They look to be very bright and solid, but I have no way of checking.
No tools on hand, and I'm 165 miles from home.
Any advice?

Update: Tried one more time and it started and is running with a slow, rough idle, about 500 rpm.
Ideas welcome.
Should I try to make the drive home?
