GAV leaking
With the air filter removed, and the car not running, the throat of the carb intake is pooling with fuel. I believe my GAV is fully closed so I assume the needle isn't seating fully.

Batt not holding charge
My two year old 6v is losing it's charge. On the bench it will drop from 100% to 75% in 24 hours with no load.
Is it shot? Seems to have enough water.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Carl

Re: 6v charging issue
Hi Patrick,
Sorry, I don't know the charge rate. When the car is in use the battery stays well charged.
Tell me more about the parasitic alternator, I had no idea. How does that happen? What...

I think my charger indicator is funky, it charged all day and never moved much past 50% but when I started the car it turned over as normal. It didn't start, but that because I think I...

Good questions. I was driving it around in the fall, I guess that's when it got it's last full charge. It sat all winter with the battery attached and when I went to start it, it was pretty drained,...

Re: 6v charging issue
And I just checked, my cells are covered with water. I’m going to let it charge some more and keep an eye on it.
Thanks all!

Re: 6v charging issue
Does the voltage change during charging or the amperage? Which is a better test to see if the batt is charging?

Re: 6v charging issue
In 6v mode the charge can only be set to 6amps. For 12v it can be set to 6amp or 2amp. I will check the cells, but they certainly had fluid in them, from 1/2 to 3/4 best I could tell.
