Snowblower Battery
Hi All,
I have an older model Honda HS828 snowblower that I picked up last year. The PO had a car battery installed ( which he removed ) so I installed the battery off my motorcycle. I don't think the blower is charging correctly. I've cleaned up everything on the terminals and chassis ground connections. The battery was at 10.5 V off. What should I get across the battery terminals with the motor running full speed? I only got 11.3 V. Could that be the battery or is there a better test?
Thanks for looking.
RE: Cell phone Newfoundland
Stay away from Rogers unless you're staying mainly on the Avalon.
Our provider offers monthly rate for unlimited talk and text outside of Canada. Cell service is generally pretty good island wide but you will find dead areas and shadows even along the TCH.
RE: Would appreciate the groups thoughts on tandem axle issue
Lippert does not make a #4400 axle.
You have same as me. #3500 axles with #4400 springs. They call that a #4400 axle. They do have a #5200 axle that is a direct fit except for the U bolts.
RE: Using an automotive battery charger when onboard fails
We did just what you describe a couple years ago when our friends' converter failed. My charger had a 12A setting and didn't cut out all weekend and managed to keep up acceptably. The biggest issue was protecting the charger from the rain.
RE: Trailer with fixed coupler so it doesn't pivot
You will bend or break something. You don't have to see the trailer if you can see it's shadow. Once upon a time I regularly towed a utility trailer with a full size van. I could not see it out the back window and couldn't see it in the mirrors unless it was turning that direction. I got used to it since I knew if I saw the trailer I had to correct. Tech today makes it much easier. Get a high mounted back up camera.
RE: Have I been doing it wrong all these years?
If you're only going to keep the truck a couple years without a lot of miles then what odds. OTOH if you are going to keep it long term you can save a few bucks on fuel but eventually spend a lot of bucks on transmission. IMO at the very least follow the severe duty service schedule for AT fluid and filthers.
