Thanks, everyone for the input. I connected a voltmeter to the starter and engine block (and every other combo I could think of) and found about a 12.5V reading in all cases when trying to crank the

With nothing better to do now that my starter is working again, out of curiosity I took a look at my tire date code and it ends with xxx5520. I assume this would be the 52nd week of (probably) 1990,

I installed flat glass bullet mirrors up on the fenders of my GT6 directly in line with the centres of the front wheels and added stick-on convex mirrors to both of them. Works great. There is not en

Does anyone trickle-charge their batteries over the winter? That is what I do with my RV batteries using a small solar panel. My understanding is that if you let batteries discharge, they will eventu

Perhaps my use of the term 'trickle charge' was inappropriate? The solar panels I use to keep my RV batteries charged over the winter have regulators to prevent over-charging and safeguards to preven
