Thanks Bjorn. Your explanations continue to clear up the mysteries of the electrical system for me.:-D

My experience with the defective relay was no clicks.

There is an incredible amount of knowledge here. All I wanted to know was how long it took for the battery to start working again. Now, I am close to a rocket scientist.:wink:

I know it sounds complex, but charging the batteries is a valid excuse for driving around. Checking repairs is complex next to that.

We are rarely pulled over for any reason other than wanting to see what kind of guns we are transporting at the time. Sometimes a cannon, other times full auto. We know most of them by now.:-D

I knew there was a reason I start the deuces every Sunday and let them reach operating temp. Good on me.:-D

I am headed to Northern Tool for a battery tender today.

OK, now I get it. I will pick one up tomorrow or Monday.

What does this mean in English?

I have parked them side by side in case I have to jump it off again tomorrow. It appears the battery will spin the starter with ease now.

I got started this morning for the North Texas Fair Parade fairly early. I was hauling politicians rather than riding with V V A 920. I removed the cargo cover and cleared the bed of the vehicle. When I went to start it I kind of noticed I had forgotten to turn the power off a few days...

There were half a dozen in the GL auction in Oklahoma this week. They went in the $600 range.

I made the spin on filter change based on the amount of rust in the primary can. Decades of water separation left the interior rusted heavily. Now the filter change means a new can each time. No more rust. Rust in the fuel will in time be more expensive than the change, I believe. But, we...

The Saturn puller is new old stock. It makes pulling the wheel a simple and easy task.

I do not consider that a realistic fear. They are quite easy to fix. I bought the cylinder hones and soft jaws for the vice to do it. The rest is hand tools and the TM. Cut a gasket, or perhaps the new kits have a good gasket, and you are on your way.

If I were to charge money for it, I might get prosecuted!:-D It is very easy. The TM has the steps you follow clearly put forth. The major issue, in my opinion, is cleaning the parts well. Each that I rebuilt had gummy residue which probably stopped them from functioning. I used paint...

The first two pics show the gasket paper from ACE Hardware and the packaged gasket cutter when first opened. The third pic show the cutter blades uncovered and adjusted to cut the gasket to the proper size. The last pic shows the gasket cutter on the gasket paper. I turned it with a 3/8...

The first two pics show the Mil Surplus/C&C Trucking shock. It duplicates the original but does not include new rubber grommets, washers or nuts. It fits fairly loosely. The second pair show the 34787 Monroe installed. They came with new rubber grommets, new nuts and new washers. They...

I will be shooting some paint on the Monroe's this week. We have a parade on Saturday. Got to look good, you know.

One shock is yellow (Monroe) and the Mil Surplus is green. You will just have to visualize them side by side.:roll:
