Bought another one...... this ones a '85

.
Is it working right now?
Are you carrying emergeny bad weather break down survival stuff? Blankets, road flares, jumper cables and other stuff?
LOL.... :D I've had jumper cables, a spare battery, flashlight, and a blanket with me since I've been in the storms with this beast. Man does that 318 pop off in a nick of a key when it's cold. In a short 20 seconds I can walk away and let it warm up. No choke either. :)

Been charging fine. Have had no issues with the charging since I put the spring back in for the brush and tightened the terminal. A little hesitant to call "victory".... as it's full of surprises.
