Since it just rained like heck today tommorrow I will just replace the batteries..I wanted to put better ones in anyway. I also have gotton an engine block heater just yesterday. I think the most ominous sigh is suddenlly the voltage gauge just dropped to flatline zero with the click.
Could...
Because Hill billy's ripped out my cold starter in N Dakota, I give my goat a shot of either to get her going on cold days. AAA Two days ago jumped my goat because it would not start and drained the batterys. They said let it run two hours to recharge the batteries but at 5pm it was not...

Well I just gave it one heck of a test driving it from Norton to Middleboro along a major highway. I just rumbled down the breakdown lane for thirty miles and now my goat is safely nesstled at my house.
I fixed the linkage problem because I sprayed everything with a health dose of WD 40 and it...

Joe
Whew you just saved me a ton of work I was ready to strip the tanks......
I broke down the air filter and it was indeed clean so I might daringly adjust the govenor. I think i might just bring it to a diesel guy since I have the mechanical ability of Anne Frank
Joe

I took it out today again and rumbled around (Goats dont drive they rumble says my nephew). It hits all the gear speeds perfectly but just tops at 40-42...It also looses power at 40 when it hits hills ect suggesting thats simply all the power it has...I will check the Air filter theroughly...
I replaced all the fuel filters but the Goat seams to hug about 40...Hmmmm
Any ideas and maybe its just a tired engine.....On a lighter note I rumbled around Norton Mass with it to day and at this point I feel coMfortable driving it anywheres....
Goat!!!

Some things were not ment to be. I was going to flat bed it the week before but got tied up with some fuel filter issues. The day before the parade my friend was going to load it up but it rained like **** so all he could do at the end off the day was load his two vehicles for another parade...
