Yeah I thought about that, i just hate to rip it back off after i resealed the shit out of it. on another note.... It being a tiny leak i still tried to get her to turn over, I do need a new battery but not sure what to get, leaning towards a red top.

Also, when it does crank it sounds like there is to much compression, it will puff once and then the motor seems to bog down during cranking. Any ideas before i give in and take it to a shop?????
