<DIV><FONT size=2>Yes, measure the voltage right on the battery posts
(adding the two voltages together if twin 6v batteries) when cranking, then
compare that with the voltage at the battery cable stud on the solenoid and
starter body when cranking. The difference between the two is what is
being lost in the connections, a volt or so is normal but it shouldn't be much
more than that.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I had the same problem. I disconnected the fuel hose,
added a a long bit of hose and with the coil disconnected, used the fuel

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi all.... My '76B, which was off the road for 5
years, was recently returned to me from the shop. They added some new gas
but did not siphon out the 5 year old gas (which was just under 1/2 tank
when I had it towed in. The car is running pretty rough so I want to
siphon out most of the gas before I fill it up. It is currently showing as
just under 1/2 tank, so around 6 gallons or a little less (assuming gauge
accuracy). <o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>I was able to pump out about 2 gallons but am wondering
if the interior of the tank is baffled, as I can't seem to move the hose
beyond a certain area and it's not sucking up any additional gas. Would
really like to remove a couple more gallons before I fill it
up.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
