First non-lethally frigid (and non-work) day in NY today. I was wondering how hard it would be to start 'ole Priscilla up after a long winter of sleeping under a cover in the garage.
I replaced the O-Ring first on my petcock since it had been leaking. After fixing that (took about 15 minutes) I gave her some fresh gas (with a bit o' Seafoam), hooked her up to the charger and crossed my fingers.
Only took a few tries and she fired right up! Sounds great....Not too shabby for 21 years old!
I don't have insurance on her yet this year so I just drove her down the driveway and back up to make sure everything still worked and had the wife check all the signals when I hit the brake, turn the directionals and hit the hazards, etc...
Unfortunately, she needs a new battery, can't start her without the charger...so I'm off to do some internet shopping. Haven't decided which battery to go with yet, time to re-read the Verses.:doh:
