So...for the uninitiated, what is going on here? Asking for a friend.

I believe the JFS(jet fuel starter) disintegrated. From what I can remember and it was not a system I was expert when I worked -15’s, but the JFS in conjunction with the CGB( central gearbox) are the initial engine starting systems. The CGB starts spinning 2 other gearbox’s that have the hydraulic reservoirs and the aircraft generators and also a shaft that starts spinning the main engine gears.

Username fits...  🤣🤣🤣

Yup, not an expert on -15’s when it came to troubleshooting was backshop when I worked them in phase dock at Langley and Lakenheath was my first base so really didn’t know anything then, but my shoulders are ruined from stabbing IDG’s. Expert on C-17’s though and can figure out and F-16 pretty good.

Hydraulic pumps sir, not the reservoirs
