    Old gas---what to do?

    Well, you talked me out of it. I finally was able to get most of the fuel out of the tank by unhooking the hose to the motor and squeezing the pressure bulb numerous times! It just wouldn't flow out good for me but I kept at it and got most of it out. I will put in new fuel and hope for the...

    Old gas---what to do?

    Well, I am leaning toward putting some new high octane in it and let it mix with the old.

    Got to get it out of the boat tank first!

    Not sure I understand what you are saying here.

    Old gas---what to do?

    Ya, have a nice John Deere with a Kawasaki in it. Thought about that too. I got to get the old gas out first though.

    Old gas---what to do?

    Thanks! I really didn't know if the hose would work that way or not. I thought the valves inside the bulb might seal it up after squeezing and prevent it from working the way I need it to. Thanks again!

    Old gas---what to do?

    I didn't get my boat out much last year and even think I still have some gas in it from the year before. I am guessing there is about 8 or so gallons in it and the tank is about 20. I thought I should go ahead and syphon out the old gas and start fresh this year. For some reason, I can't get my...

    I think I need a new battery

    May even be a better idea than the Lithium jumper pack I carry with me.

    I think I need a new battery

    OK, thanks! Since they are 7 years old and I really don't want to take much more chance with them dying on me when I don't want them dead, I went ahead and bought a 1000 cranking amp battery from Walmart along with 2 deep cycle 29's with 122 Amps. These are the same batteries I had in previously...

    I think I need a new battery

    Well, just checked voltage on each of the 3. The start battery is showing 13.4 and the trolling batteries are each at 13.2. I was surprised but had just taken them off the charger. Perhaps it will change in a few hours? What if I would start my trolling motor and run it---would that equal under...

    I think I need a new battery

    Thanks---I will probably make a trip to Walmart tomorrow but might try to see what voltage they are testing at before I do.

    I think I need a new battery

    Thanks for the tips and great help! These I have are from Walmart too. Must be the place to get them? I have a good mechanical friend that tells me he is lucky to get 2 years out of his Interstate Batteries and was amazed when I told him how old mine were.

    I think I need a new battery

    Was going to post up a similar question so instead will ask here. Last year, I was thinking my trolling motor didn't have the power it once had and was thinking the batteries might be getting in need of replacement. I have 2 batteries hooked up as a 24v system. I also have a separate starting...

    Shimano Stradic Ci4+ RD and Shimano Sienna RD

    Ohh, NO!! I have not! Better look around a little more. Sorry! Hey, I may have one in my stash! I tend to buy things when I think the price is right or I think they may stop making them. I will look. Maybe we could make a trade deal for your Stradic you don't like?
