"Strat" = Start

Use those settings if trying to do a jump-start.All those years my parents forced me to study Mandarin did not go to waste.......

Oh the humanity! I'd take that thing back immediately and demand a full refund.

How's the new flathead running John?

manual

That real fact about it is the chinese are 'lemmings' , hence they follow everyone. The mistake probably was generated here in the US by an engineer or designer who made a typo, then it went to china to be made. The manual is wrong too.

Does it have the same 'Strat' spelling on it? If it does it is definitely not a typo, they had to match it to make the instructions clear.

I had something similar with 'Charged Solar Lights' in the garden, imagine the amount of lighting I got out of those things.

You may want to double check the polarity of the wires, make sure the red is red and the black is black, before trying to 'strat' anything.

when I purchased a new master cylinder for my 52 F-6 I opted for the one made in USA even though it was a few dollars more.

the side of the casting had "Mad in USA" cast in

Hey John, I don't think you saw my question above. How's your flathead coming along? If you're to the point that you're charging your new battery, you must be about ready to fire it up. You got any new pics of it installed with all the gadgets hooked back up after the rebuild?

no time

Sorry I missed the question, I was busy thinking of taking over china. It is very close but its the small stuff that is killing me. Spent a week cleaning and using the por-15 products on the fuel tank. Then I have to clean and paint the cab area where the tank goes, flair the new fuel line, etc. God I hate the small stuff. Then there is all of the other stuff I have to take care of like the broken lawn mower and such.
