ya gotta love old technology


Recommended Posts

This is sorta a road trip story, but I'm singing the praises of old technology.......I recently made a trip from home (north of Toronto, Canada) in my '83 dolphin to the Syracuse N.Y. area, and had a little mechanical trouble. The alternator died on me, and I couldn't get one soon enough to be back at work on time, so I "rolled the dice", charged the battery, and headed home (350 miles) running off the battery. Unbelievable as it may seem, I made it right into my driveway........if I had a newer camper with fuel injection and electric fuel pump I doubt I'd have made it 25 miles. java script:emoticon(':ThumbUp:', 'smid_9')

Remove the coach battery lead from the isolater and connect everything to the same post. I've gone 200 mi with a dead alt and EFi with no problem.

I "THINK" my house battery would run the fuel pump for about 10 hr, but I ani't gonna try it just to see.
