Check out Batteries Plus, if there's on near you.
Keep in mind, the dimensions of the battery are slightly different than a standard battery. So you'll want to double check that before making your purchase from a non Motorsports store.

I used uShip last week. Austin to Chicago. Very happy with the service, but I chose hauler with the better reviews over better price. I felt that if people took the time to write a few words, rather than just list ratings by stars, then that said something about the overall service provided. I am pl...

gas smell
Is it definitely gas, or could it be oil?
It's possible that your piston rings aren't set. Or they could be starting to fail. This would allow oil to come up the cylinder wall, into the top end where it pushes out that tube that ties into your air box.
