Re: device to jump start my model A
Any chance your existing battery is too small or too old? I never had any problems with my '31 RDPU. Find your real problem.

A good battery and a GOOD ground and you should not have a problem.

Re: device to jump start my model A
While Parking my roadster in front of a yard sale I heard a man from the porch say he used to crank those in his younger days. I reached under the seat and offered him my crank. His grand children (the house owners), his children and visitors at the sale were totally augh struck as he grabbed the crank and started my car. Imagine pushing ninety, that must have made his day!

Re: device to jump start my model A
My .02¢
#1 - hand cranking a cold engine, ... not as easy as you would think. #2 - for those using a 12v battery to jump a 6v car, people have a tendancy to put their foot on the brake, ... bye-bye tail light bulbs. I have found a maintained battery, a good ground, a properly adjusted belt and keeping an eye on your ammeter is all that needed to keep the gremlins away. Regards Bill |
