Went to wake the old Girl up
this week from her long winters nap. She started right up but wasn't charging.
Gave the cutout a few taps, nothing. Closest other thing was a pair of pliers [ why are pliers called a pair ?] , opened them up to jump across the terminals, zap, and its charging. I'm a bit surprised that happened just sitting for one winter. Maybe she is just letting me know she doesn't want to get left behind next winter. |

Re: Went to wake the old Girl up
So you have a sticky cutout? Be sure it opens when you shut off the engine or your battery will be drained. Better swap out that cutout or repair the old one.

Re: Went to wake the old Girl up
Maybe you needed to "flash" the generator after sitting for so long...

i don't think a generator should really need a 'flash' after only a 6 month rest. But, STUFF happens. The gremlins are alive and well. |
