Start Your Old VW WhenThe Battery is Dead

[Pap]

I remember back in the 80's when I use to ride out to Sturgis for bike week going through Chicago sometimes we would pass the building along the way and it was HUGE
Gravely used the same pull start strap also

I remember using something like that when we started my dad's old Gravely.

I made my date push start mine one time, because she didn't know how to dump the clutch and get it started. Could be part of why we didn't date very long after that,,,,

Maybe you got lucky, might have been always pushing you around

The battery on my 66 Beatle started to lay down on me while in High School. It was a 6V, so in 1973 there weren't many vehicles to even jump it. So, I would park with a back tire on the curb. When I was ready to leave, would just let her roll down and pop the clutch.. Worked until I saved enough for a battery..
