Need to one-time start a 1950 Plymouth and don't want to buy a new 6V battery for this one occassion. I prime it with gas and it usually starts right away. Will make sure radio and lights are off. There is nothing else in the electrical system that worries me except the voltage regulator. Will I cook it?

Do I need to isolate the 12V battery in the other car by disconnecting cables for any reason?

If this won't work, is there any simple way to step down the voltage for a one-time deal?

Thanks!

I have an older Fourtrax 300 2-wheel drive ( just bought) and I can't get it into reverse. Cable is hooked up and moving the lever, but it will not engage. I don't have a manual and I'm leary about opening it up. Anybody have any ideas on what may be wrong and how to repair or adjust?

today. Put my old plates back on it. Didn't have time to take off the NYS registration and inspection stickers because I had to get to work ASAP. Is this illegal? (To have Connecticut plates with a NYS registration and inspection sticker that is no longer valid).

Tonight, I will work on scraping those stupid superglued stickers off, but for now, I need to get home and don't have time to try it now either.

I was interested in purchasing some floor mats for my car with cherries on it. I was wondering if the cherry meant anything because I didn't want to convey any bad messages. I already have a cherry air freshner and a cherry antenna top.

I have Acura MDX 2003. When I apply brakes while turning when coming down the slopes, it makes skidding noise even at low speed of 10 MPH. I would like to know what could be the problem and which part I need to replace. Please advice.

Some time ago, the oil pressure light on my car started flickering. I went to a shop and they told me the oil pressure switch (sending unit) was leaking oil and they changed a new one. A few days later, the light came on again and I went back to the shop. They told me the unit was bad and they changed another one for me without charge. A couple of months later, it started flickering again. This time, the shop told me that the unit was burnt out due to low oil level as the oil level was about 1 quart from the maximum line. Still, they said they changed the unit for me since it’s still under warranty but they charged me for the labor.

Here is my question. Can oil pressure switch (sending unit) be burnt out that easily just because of low oil level? Where can I find product specifications or other helpful information? Is this normal practice for repair shops?
