Follow up on yesterday. I was trying to get the 240 started so we could get to Church.
I fiddled with the thing all day off and on. Charger connected, then hit to 50amp start. Shoot carb Cleaner down the intake different times. (no starting fluid, don`t like using it, but Iam desperate)
HF Heat gun blowing down under the Intake Manifold.
Finally got the Torpedo propane heater shooting heat under the front end with a blanket over the Engine for 1 - 2 hours etc....
(Condensed version)
Finally the P O S started at 2:30.
Told my Wife, "we are going to Reno and just buy the NOCO". Cancel the order.
Get out of here at 4pm. Roads out here are just Asphalt grinding rolled in and oiled, no painted lines. County made maybe one pass out here with the Plows. Roads are packed Snow/ice, but off we go.
About 2.5 miles there are a couple small hills and slight down grand, (Not much) coming up the 2nd rise, have a bit of pavement on drive wheel. 1/2 ton PU coming up the other lane is have problems getting traction but makes it by me. Just over the top packed ice, and as I ease off the go peddle and back wheels hit the ice, back end goes right and iam heading across the other lane, turn wheel to right, she straightens out a bit, turn wheel to right and we do a 360 and backwards into the ditch and soft dirt. Now we are at a 45 deg angle pointed from where we came from. That was exciting. Like driving on marbles.
Lots on commiefornians moving here, drive by and laugh at me, not one "Hey can I help? You ok?"
5 guys in PU`s stopped to help. gently pulled me out, no damage to car.
Finally get north of Carson City and all the way to Reno, like it didn`t snow.
Get to Summit racing at 6pm. Pick up the NOCO Booster. Came to $400.53.
Guy at the counter said he has the same one, works great. Worth the price.
make it back home w/o problems but was sweating bullets.
Open up the box, has a thick manual, 3 x 5" in about 50 languages, some I never herd of. First 5 pages is English. 2 pages CA. prop 65 BS.
Removed the first 5 pages and rest is fire starter.
Has a cord for the Cigarette lighter, and a cord for a USP connection....But no adaptor for an AC connector. But have plenty kicking around from phones etc...
You get a cloth bag for the unit. For the price should come with the hard case, that has to be purchased separately. Will do that.
Plugged her in this morning to get the full charge takes a couple hours.
I go out, remove the blanket and heat lamp from under the hood to see if she will start, and probably run the battery down etc... and get to use my new toy.
That stupid car started right up :***:
There are several YT Vids on this thing. It`s suppose to start a 10L Gas engine or a 8L Diesel.
Saw one vid last night guys semi was at 10.3 volts and a 15L Engine. Started right up.
EDIT:
:***: why did they block this one?
What! Again? It`s the W T F one
