[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 815741, member: 277"] It looks like Geezer is typing away, but I will jump in too. Please note that Wenmark has an AE so bump-starting is not a real option. Please note that even if Wenmark had a manual clutch FJR it would still be cruel to tell him to roll his FJR down a hill to bump stat it, hilly Florida is an oxymoron ;) For any FJR to have a chance at bump starting the battery should have more than 9 volts at the terminals, any less and the coils will produce a spark that is too weak or no spark at all. And finally, the only real choices that Wenmark has is to jump start it, charge the battery or replace the battery. Charging takes time and a new battery should be trickle charged before use to get the best battery life down the road. Edit: Yup, Geezer AND GalaxyBlue were typing and did indeed post first making most of my post unnecessary. [/QUOTE]
