The Start A 1940 Buick With A Weak Battery
John H. Bayes, Labelle, Fla.: "Here's how we start a 1940 Buick with a weak battery in the middle of a New England winter: 1. Jack up the left rear wheel and block the chassis so it won't fall. 2. Pump the gas pedal a couple times. 3. Pull out the throttle a small amount. 4. Put the tranny in 3rd gear. 5. Turn the key to the æon' position. 6. Get out of the vehicle and proceed to turn the wheel in a counter clockwise direction. This will turn the engine over and get it started. A little dangerous but it has worked for us several times."
