Default Re: Jump Starting?

Henry no pushing for Me .I wouldn't want dents etc ,Jumping is a one man job, and one of the easer things to do on a flathead ,done it hundreds of times .on a 47/48 Whats wrong with hooking up to the starter side of the solenoid you will get a few sparks ,use a charger on the 6 volt if its completely flat .If you plan on hooking to the battery be sure to ware some high strength goggles ,My 78 year old friend can see like a cat now because of a battery explosion,he has got a new retina ..

Again, of all of the times I've had to start my car with a dead battery, 90% of the time it's by a quick push - not a jump. As others have said, battery jump is a last resort when pushing just won't do.
