Re: Rims and tires... oh and winterazation question.
Learned a trick to mix a few drops of 2-cycle oil with any remaining gas (Mystery oil or other Non-gumming oil intended for mixing with Gas Engines works too), and run the engine till fuel runs out (Don't do this with an fuel injected engines though). Had an old gas engine, always gave me trouble starting-up in spring, ran better than ever after doing this trick.
I used to use the end of season to do my annual maintenance on 2 & 4 stroke engine: Oil Change, Plugs, and Clean before the season. Keeps everything from becoming more permanent, and identify any rust/repair areas. Probably goes without saying, regarding the battery maintenance, should put it on a trickle charger to maintain the charge (esp for Lead acid/Wetcells as they apparently can lose 8-30% plus charge in a month). Good to be safe than sorry, but still don't get the logic of keeping the battery off concrete?!? (Presuming your basement is mostly underground - even unheated Basements in US stay between 50-60 F, maybe in mid-40s for the states bordering Canada or Canadian states. Basically the area ground water temperature (indirectly heated by the sun), helps maintain underground basements well above freezing, except if it's drafty. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and Have a Happy NEW YEAR! - Ken |

Re: Rims and tires... oh and winterazation question.
Found this about storing batteries
You see, the myth that concrete drains batteries does have some historical basis. Many, many years ago, wooden battery cases encased a glass jar with the battery inside. Any moisture on the floor could cause the wood to swell and possibly fracture the glass, causing it to leak. Later came the introduction of the hard rubber cases, which were somewhat porous and had a high-carbon content. An electrical current could be conducted through this container if the moist concrete floor permitted the current to find an electrical ground. The wise advice of the old days to "keep batteries off concrete" has been passed down to us today, but it no longer applies because of the advanced technology of today’s batteries. |

Re: Rims and tires... oh and winterazation question.
Thanks Phantom59! for doing the sleuthing on that mystery and sharing the details ! Pretty cool info, would hate to be driving around with a wooden encased glass battery....
Been sleuthing for Super cheap Battery Banks and complex wiring Series & Parallel this past couple of weeks. Great info here on other threads, but lot on wiring mis-info on the net. The proper wiring makes more sense to me now :D ... Charger went haywire on a set-of Li-ions (literally caught on fire) I should start a separate post, but PM me if anyone wants in on a co-op purchase of literally a ton of GOLF CART batteries 200-250 AMP 6V or 12 Volt batteries (goal is between $30-40/each DELIVERED by MARCH/APRIL-LEAD Acids/Wet - I figure with the right battery conditioning & low DOD-nothing against the TOP Brands, just looking to go cheap this go-around, if they only last 3 years I'll have saved 50%-sharing the savings for more buying power), let me know. Getting over 200 straight from one of the Spec Manufacturers, so they'll be fresh - Pick-up from NYC area or Freight Delivery (at cost). |

If anyone here has ever been to the Edison museum in Florida there is an electric car they made that has the glass case lead acid batteries.
