Big Red finally got out of the garage for a short spell. Although she got a new battery a couple years ago, and I had the battery disconnected over the winter, she had no crank. Got her going with Battery Tender engine start. Took her for a short little drive to my friends house. Since we are having a large garage sale, Big Red was being kicked out of the garage.
I noticed that I was losing battery voltage while driving. So I came to conclusion that my alternator must be going out. When I got to my friends house and parked in the garage, I smelled gas. I also have a small leak where some of the rubber hoses were replaced a few years ago.
So it looks as though Big Red will have to get flat bedded to get fixed up, as soon as this garage sale is over with.
On a good note, this was the first time of taking her out since I restored my BenchSeat. It was quite comfy!
