Yes, group 51R battery is the common replacement.
Works good for me.

2 rubber lines, one by the sending unit in the gas tank, and one connecting
the metal line to the motor assembley underneath. Relatively easy to get to
the rear one by removing the rear wheel. This howe can crack, kink, get
soaked with oil, or otherwise deteriorate.

Hello FCers...

I have asked this one before, but it is time for a new battery for the
recently completed/repainted Rampside. Is it a Group 51R battery that we
use? The old one is currently not really holding much of a charge, and it
has been in there a while.

Also, I have a great deal of trouble restarting the Rampside once it is
warm. I think it might be sucking too much air at a deteriorated fuel line
hose. I am going to get it on a lift to check things out just as soon as it
is inspected. How many fuel line hoses are there that could be causing this
trouble? I know the truck has one added where an in-line fule filter was
added, but I am not sure of all of the stock locations. Anyone have a quick
primer for me?

I am looking forward to driving it again. It has been off the road since
January . I did drive it home, and it ran fine (once restarted!!! that was
work!), but it still does not have the sticker in the window. I would like
to enjoy it a bit before the snow starts flying and I have to park it for a
few months.

Thanks to all!

Ben
