Thank you.

no I am not an EE, have not "worked" in the field as long as some but have seen quite a bit working on everything from Polaris atv's to the big 4.

I did not claim to know the reason it happens, just knew it could.

some others pointed out in that other thread that something must have been wrong before jumping it which is basically what I was getting at. or there were parts used that were on the lower end of the tolerances. we don't know.

I just wanted to point out that there is a chance, no matter how small that you can fry a part of the system jumping it from a car battery. the last I looked at that other thread somone posted that they hooked up a lawnmower (I think) to a car battery and it spun up so fast it sounded like a jet. I thought he was trying to stir the pot some but do remember that happening to 50cc atv's when hooked to like a battery big enough to crank a bigger bike.
