I think my 6 volt battery crapped out on me today. Ethan and James drove from tomball to help push start the car. I was stranded at barns and nobles off 1960 and me and my son could not push start it. Big thanks goes out to them two. Two very good friends fo sho.

How far did Ethan have to run?? Is he OK?? :redguy:

More than likely a ground wire/strap

ground issue wouldn't cause a dead battery, now a hot wire grounding out could. Billy, how many volts is your generator putting out?

I drove down from Austin to help but I guess you guys had just left.. Oh well.. Glad you got it going..

I may have missed it somehwere..

what exactly happened?? would the starter not engage? but you have power?

and push starting it ? you can do it in reverse and if going forward 2nd gear is best..

I guess the question would be did the coil have power? did it not turn over? at all? did it click?

etc.etc. questions?

no click...no nada...the gen light and oil light came on but nothing else....headlights strong...def not a battery problem....ground strap new along with possitive connection....im going to look under the hood which is where i think the problem is but also going to check the starter connection......
