Another fun day

[Hank70SS]

Streets were plowed the other day, all nice and clean.Yesterday we decided we would go fill the motorhome with gas and park it closer to the house for the day so we could start packing it. No start, hit the key and the voltage gauge dropped to around 9 volts. I had just put a brand new battery in last week, 1000 CA, 800 CCA and ran the engine then. Checked the connections, it has a brass stud for multiple cables on the + side mount terminal, it was stripped. Great, that's an easy fix, ran up to the parts store and bought another. Got it good and snug, no start. Put in another fully charged battery, no start. Has an AUX start button that jumps the 2 6 volt golf cart batteries to the engine battery, no start. Climbed underneath through the snow and pulled the starter.

After plowing the snow today I put in a new starter. Damn I'm glad it's a small high torque starter and not a big boat anchor like the one on the Chevelle. My fingers are still numb but that was it, fired right up. Supposed to be colder the next few days so figured get it done today, sun was out, could be worse. I could actually see what I was doing today. Man I can't wait to get out of here. I usually don't mind winter that much put this one sucks big time.
