Gas tank
Am not confident with my fuel gauge. Would like to make a stick with inches. Would I hit the float sticking it, do you put anything on the stick to see the fuel level and how many gallons per inch

Battery
I need a new battery and my local auto store has one. My question is should I buy it there or go to a farm supply store that sells more 6 volt batteries and do they have a date code on them.

Re: Starter switch
My starter rod has no spring. I would think that has nothing to do with the bendix stuck

Spring start up
While still jacked up is it ok to start up and idle till it heats up. It’s not where I live and before taking it down I check the fluids and grease it.

Re: Battery in wrong

Re: Battery in wrong
Disconnected the ground and it did the same thing. Charged and then said the battery was bad. I'll look to see if the red coil wire goes to the distributor.
