Being new to the practice of running my carb dry at the end of the day,I left my ignition key on. In the morning I found my battery dead.
I then had to get out my battery charger and charge the battery.
Wasn't that RE-VOLTING

Have a good day all.

I was steamed the other day when my car overheated.......

You may want to install a battery switch and make it part of your routine to shut it off, I saw a coil once that caught fire because the key was left on and the points were closed.

I have heard our cars called, "Rattle "A" Fords", instead of "Model "A" Fords".

Where I am it was,Figure on repairs daily. The old guy I worked of in high school called them,effed over rebuilt Dodges.He worked on them when new,and during the war he worked on them almost exclusively.They got the best fuel mileage,so he kept dozens of then going for local families.

Ran Minerva dry, 3 months in the hospital, went to fire her off with 6 year battery and no trickle charger, cranked with gusto, but NO START! I figured last gas was taken by the Evaporation Bandit. At 2:00 A.M, I sat up in bed and said, "Dumb ass, I forgot to turn on the gas!"
I guess that's why I'm only "The ASSistant Guru of Stuff"---Isn't that a "GAS?"

Battery charging RE-VOLTING? Just WATT do you mean? Does buying new tires qualify you for a pension? After all, you are RE-TIRED.

My wife's comment while trying to take pictures from the moving Model A on her first Club tour yesterday:

"You're driving too BUMPY !!!"

I had a car once just like it. It was a Model A, except it had a longer motor and solid wheels. And a funny blue bow tie. Your car isn't correct.

There was an old man who had a wooden leg.
A ride he couldn't steal, a ride he couldn't beg.
So he got himself some wire and an old tin can.
He built himself a Ford and the darn thing ran.
