I was listening to Click & Clack "The Car Guys" this morn and someone with a slipping fan belt was told to put 'Comet' on the belt by a friend. It worked for him (the abrasive removes the glaze). I actually found some 'Comet' and poured it on the 2 belts I could see. Sonnofabitch started after some cranking, and using gas pedal techniques that used to work with flooded carbs! I took it for a ride around the neighborhood twice. Every dashboard light was on except the water and oil. The only one that concerned me was the battery light. I wonder if the alt is ded. I set up the trickle charger again. Does the light come on when the batt is low (don't think so) or if the battery is not being charged? I could actually go sailing again, but it's going to be in the freakin' 90's for the next few days.
