But if they have jobs and own their homes then they're miles ahead of

in there.

You're perpetually broke, in debt, spend most of your nights sleeping
in a truck, and the rest sleeping in a dingy mobile home on a tiny
rented lot in a crummy town. Does it really make sense to you to be
running down fictitious people for not knowing how to use a voltmeter?
Particularly since your own troubleshooting skills have been proven a
joke.

"As for his "prowess" as an electrical trouble shooter, I picked up a
complete service manual with all of the electrical diagrams and his
"Fix" for the failed components was to bypass the fuses - TO THE
CHARGING CIRCUIT - and baste everything in PB Blaster. There wasn't
anything wrong with the charging circuit. The batteries he had cobbled
together were ****. I picked up a set from Big Joe and, miracle of
miracles, the relay's and solenoinds suddenly started working. It was
pretty obvious at that point that his real skill is bull ****ting. A
ten year old could have made perfect sense of the electrical drawings
but not Gunner."

Just like the old saying "most carburetor problems aren't" - most
battery charger problems aren't. More likely battery problems - or
like the idiot a while back who insisted it was a dangerous defect in
a Canadian Tire battery charger that the ammeter melted inside the
case when he used the 100 amp "start assist" mode as a fast charger -
- - - - -.

A while back I dragged out a 13hp generator that had been in unheated
storage through 2 winters. The small and cheap AGM battery was about 6
years old. I assumed it would be toast and at a minimum would be dead
flat. But my charger refused to pass any current. Nah, it couldn't
be... I pressed the start button and the generator cranked quite a bit
and then fired up.
