Ok. Got my 24v charger. Its been charging for about 4 days. Looks like this weekend im going to try again. Hope all goes well cause im getting really pissed with all this. And I really need to finish painting the ask panels. Than put on the front of my enclosed trailer. The inside of the trailer...
Well I'm just starting to get really pissed off. I'm a engineer at my fire house. Also used to be a mechanic. I am gonna have to wait a few days till get my 24v charger in the mail. Than allow it to charge. I've killed the battery 2 times already.
Ok now im getting pissed. Put it in and it didn't start. It started to smell like rotten fish when it was charging about 2.5 hrs of it being charged. It would crank but still wont start. Loosened the valve that's on the fuel filter canister and when I go to prime it, it will squirt fuel right...
Well im at my trailer now. Primed the fuel bowl, got it to start. But only ran for about 10 seconds. Now I think the battery is getting to low to turn her over so I stoled. Now gotta find someone with a 24v charger grrrr

The battery is 3 days old. They did state it was only 80 percent charged though. But **** 80 percent should more than enough. It has a hair more oil than the dip stick says it should have, which i did in order to compensate for the empty filter. The starter seems to crank high an it should.
