With over 100 batteries, it seems like a constant job on batteries and carburetors. Does it really pay to use battery maintainers? I use some, but all the cords are a PITA. not to mention, if one ever fails could it start a fire?
I won’t even get into the problems with that many carbs, I now keep rebuilt carburetors on hand because it seems that when you really want it work. It doesn’t ........also started putting fuel shut offs inline before carbs to run dry.
Diesels are better, fuel lasts longer in the Midwest, but not in the hot climates
Last year I had to rebuild my injector pump on my diesel tractor, from sitting in over 100 degree temps all summer. Fuel had become just sticky enough to cause the plungers in the pump to not return to the out stroke. Tore it all down, ultrasonic cleaned it reassembled and it worked perfectly. 3 cylinder CAV DPA Pump
