Temps got up to 63*F today. I bought some canned gasoline for the 2 stroke engines and canned VP for the others. I started the lawn mower, leaf blower, weed eater, portable generator, tractor and the T.
Battery was nearly down on the lawn mower, had to jump, gas and carb OK. Leaf blower and weed eater no issues. Tractor is diesel, so with the battery being good, no issues. Forgot the 4 wheeler. The battery has been bad for about a year. It has VP in it already. 1st kick, came to life and idled like it had been just cranked. Took a hot battery to the barn to spin over a V8 flathead that is waiting on a home.
Tried starting the T. Battery was hot and did a lot of spinning, hits and misses. Finally pulled the breather and the back bowl was flooding. I pulled the wires on the fuel pump and it fired right up. Really fired up surprisingly fast, since it was flooded. I might have to put a switch on the fuel pump. Right now it comes on with the key. Anyway everything is good. Between the Stabil and canned gas, I might have dodged the bullet.
