    Powerhouse Genny Charge/Discharge

When applying the brake (single tuna can light) or turn on the dash light the ammeter drops to 5A charge. However when I...

    What do you carry with you?

    Hello all! I thought I would ask all of you what extras you carry with you (if you do) when driving. I’m thinking of a small duffel bag to keep with me with some tools and extra ignition parts, belt, a fire extinguisher, flashlight, magnet, and a tire pump. So what’s in your bag?

    Distributor Upper Contact Plate
